Meet the Team

By the time Hughes Capital was fortunate enough to scoop Stacy up for the investor relations position, she had accumulated more than fifteen years of experience across various professional industries — each requiring a high level of excellence in areas such as operations, executive client services, corporate account management, project and contract management and negotiation, and event planning.

For six years, Stacy was the San Francisco rep for a global corporate travel management company where she routinely negotiated multi-million dollar contracts and implemented sophisticated online booking tools and expense management systems.  Although San Francisco was her primary territory, Stacy’s client base spanned the globe.

She spent four years in project and contract management working with Microsoft management teams in supervising 40-50 Microsoft contractors hired by vendor companies like Idea Entity and Wimmer Solutions, providers of business and professional services.  She was not only responsible for ensuring that client and vendor deliverables were met, but she also identified and recommended new software development ideas along the way.  As part of her managerial role, Stacy conducted quarterly business reviews, created Statements of Work (SOWs), drove onboarding processes, and managed the internal recruiting team responsible for identifying and hiring new contractors.

Her ties with Microsoft led to her relocate from Redmond, Washington to Reno, Nevada, when Microsoft enlisted her expertise in setting up the infrastructure for Microsoft retail stores.

Having been at Hughes Capital since the inception of the Buy and Hold fund, Stacy is a fountain of knowledge about anything fund-related and has become the in-house expert on helping clients set up self-directed IRAs or 401(k)s so they can use retirement funds to invest.

Stacy worked for Dale Carnegie professional training and is a graduate of all of the Dale Carnegie courses, including Communications, High Impact Presentations, and Sales & Management.  She is a former president of Business Network International (BNI) Northwest, in Bellevue, Washington and is a former board member of NCET (Nevada Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology) in Reno, Nevada.

In her spare time, Stacy enjoys cooking, spending time with family and friends, and playing golf, where she regularly practices her swing and exercises valuable skills like patience and humor.

Jessica is a long-time member of the Hughes Private Capital team.  In 2013, she was welcomed to the accounting department, not knowing that this team would become more like a family.  She has since witnessed and enjoyed the challenges of change and growth surrounding the company.  After working several years in accounting, which allowed her to gain a deep understanding of the technical side of the investments, Jessica has settled into her new role on the Investor Relations team; she feels right at home building personal relationships with investors.

Jessica is a Reno native, but grew up across many western states.  She eventually attended college in Chico, California, but returned to her roots in Nevada to help operate a family business.  Soon after, she started her own family and developed two new businesses.  It was then that she realized her passion for learning and growth — and all the multi-tasking and problem solving that comes along with it — which plays such a huge role in her position at Hughes Capital today.  When not working alongside some of her favorite people, she spends time with a team of her own: five children from 6 to 24, a son in law, and now one darling grandson — all of which she claims are her greatest accomplishments, by far.
