Vice President of Finance
Vicki Vannieuwenhoven, the Packers' director of finance since 1999, in 2008 begins her second year as the organization's vice president of finance. She is the first female vice president in the 90-year history of the organization.
Named to the position April 3, 2007, Vannieuwenhoven's main responsibilities involve leading the day-to-day financial operations of the club. She has oversight of some of the revenue departments as well as the human resources area. She also works on NFL economic issues and strategic initiatives of the organization.
Vannieuwenhoven (pronounced van-EVEN-hoh-ven), a certified public accountant, continues to oversee the audit process and work closely with the organization's treasurer, the Board of Directors' audit and investment committees, and the stadium district.
"Vicki has a great feel for the pulse of the organization and works very well with all our staff," said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. "Her experience with the Packers in a number of areas has been very valuable to me during my first year. We look forward to her continued strong leadership on many of our internal initiatives, as well as her key work with the NFL on team and league financial matters."
Vannieuwenhoven, 42, originally joined the Packers Feb. 13, 1995, as an accountant after working as an auditor in public accounting at both Ernst and Whinney in Milwaukee (1988-89) and Wipfli Ullrich Bertelson (now Wipfli LLP) in Green Bay (1989-95).
Promoted to director of finance in 1999, she has coordinated the organization's annual audits, including that of the NFL Salary Cap, and also was instrumental in establishing a human resources department and staff development program.
The Crivitz, Wis., native earlier graduated as class valedictorian from nearby Crivitz High School (1984), where she played basketball and volleyball. She then graduated from St. Norbert College (1988) with a degree in accounting.
Active in the community, Vannieuwenhoven is a member of Management Women, Inc., a Green Bay organization that supports the professional development of women, and the Green Bay Exchange Club, a service organization that works toward the prevention of child abuse and promotes patriotism. She also is involved in New North, an organization whose goal is to foster economic development and broaden the visibility of the 18-county region of Northeastern Wisconsin. Vannieuwenhoven teaches religious education at Ss. Edward and Isidore Parish as well.
Vannieuwenhoven is married to Trevor, and they live in Pulaski, Wis., with their three children: sons Tanner, 14, and Hunter, 12, and daughter Tatum, 10. In her time away from work, she enjoys following the many sports and other activities of her children, and plays golf and basketball.
