Tracie Thomas

Raised in Leawood, Kansas, Tracie graduated from the University of Kansas with a Political Science and Business degree and an MBA from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. A devoted gardener, she loves to incorporate local perennial plants into her landscapes. At The Land Institute, Tracie creates scalable processes, drives strategic growth, and builds operational excellence. She oversees finance, HR, IT, compliance, farm and greenhouse operations, facilities, and legal matters, helping bring order and stability to the organization amid an ever-more chaotic and changing modern context.

My most perennial trait: Exploration—I search the world for unique and engaging experiences through food, cooking, and travel.
