Kris Petersen

Friends of Ngong Road,Nominating and Governance Committee
Senior Vice President, think2perform

Kris is currently Senior Vice President of think2perform providing executive leadership coaching and training. Kris’s area of expertise is helping leaders maximize their effectiveness by helping them improve their emotional competency and strengthen their business skills. Before joining think2perform, she held the role of Senior Vice President and General Manager for Financial Planning and Advice at Ameriprise Financial. In her 13-year tenure at the company, she held a variety of leadership positions in Brokerage, External Products, Wealth Management Products, and Retail Retirement Planning.

Responsibilities at FoNR: 

Kris currently serves on the Nominating and Governance Committee, performing key roles to expand the reach and impact of the organization.

Why I am involved with FoNR:

Having sponsored two girls since the start of FONR, I see the very positive impact FONR has on these children and their families. I’ve traveled to Kenya twice to meet and spend time with the girls I sponsor as well as to teach at the summer camp. This experience reinforced my belief that FONR changes these children’s lives and provides them with more opportunities than they would have had without FONR.
