Kent Wommack Biography
Kent Wommack has worked for The Nature Conservancy (TNC) for 32
years. During that time, Kent has built and led three of the Conservancy’s

More recently he served as Managing Director of the Global Lands strategy
team, which leads TNC’s efforts worldwide in sustainable agriculture, smart
infrastructure, forests and climate, as well as their work with indigenous
peoples. He is currently Senior Strategist for International Programs, where

breakthrough conservation and fundraising projects as part of the
Conservancy’s upcoming multi-billion dollar campaign.
Kent is one of just nine Conservancy leaders featured in the book Nature’s
Keepers, a business management profile of The Nature Conservancy’s first
half century written by Bill Birchard.
Outside the Conservancy, Kent is Board Vice President of the Elmina B.
Sewall Foundation, a philanthropic foundation that donates $8 million

a Board Director of the National Lime and Stone Company, a privately held
natural resource company in his native state of Ohio.
Kent received his BA from Colby College, and his MFS from the Yale
