Dani Lopes Johnson, Associate Vice President
of Talent Acquisition, Nationwide
My name is Dani Lopes Johnson and I am an
Associate Vice President of Talent Acquisition
at Nationwide. I was born and raised in Brazil.
A career in the financial services industry was
a far afterthought for me. While I joined
Nationwide in 2015, I had admired the
company’s culture and workplace awards for
years. Nationwide is a company with strong
values and its contagious culture attracted me
for years. Before joining the Nationwide
family, I led talent acquisition and diversity for
companies in similar industries and could
not avoid my admiration for Nationwide’s
commitment to talent excellence, growth and
development of its associates.
Currently, I lead a team focused on
identifying and attracting highly qualified talent
to innovate and deliver on the products
and services our members need today and
tomorrow. We widen our talent reach through
strategic and academic partnerships and
industry consortiums.
I love working at Nationwide because we
invest in our people and our members. At
Nationwide we bring our mission to life by
protecting people, business and futures with
extraordinary care.
Nationwide is a company with a big heart,
and even bigger actions. I have the honor to
serve on several Boards whose missions are
to elevate and develop the advancement of
women and underrepresented communities in
corporate America. Community outreach is
important to me because it demonstrates our
commitment to the communities that we live in.
My work and my community involvement allow
me to live my passion and champion diversity.
I hope you will consider joining our familia.
