Ren Nelson

Ren started working at AVR at the early age of 17, and while studying for her Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) from the University of Houston she worked her way over a 20-year span into management in departments such as Client Support, Client Relations, Sales, then onto Senior Support Analyst and Senior Implementation Director. After being in management at AVR she became a part of the executive team and eventually President and CEO of AVR.

Her commitment to AVR starts with maintaining the ethical standards, integrity, and a family-oriented cooperative culture of AVR legacy, which was founded and managed for over 60 years, by her late grandfather former CEO of AVR Mr. Ronald Emberg. As Mr. Emberg did, Ren prides herself in the fact that generations of families have, and still work at AVR with tenures as far back as 30,40, and even 50 years. Many employees are third-generation from several families.
