CHICAGO — Nichole Jordan, Grant Thornton’s regional managing partner for Texoma and market managing partner for Dallas and Austin, has been named to the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Directorship 100, an annual list recognizing influential leaders who are shaping the future of corporate governance and board leadership.
Jordan was recognized as part of NACD's 2026 Directorship 100 honorees, which recognizes distinguished directors, governance professionals and other leaders who have made a significant impact on boardroom practices and performance.
"I am honored to be recognized by NACD alongside so many accomplished leaders who are committed to advancing strong governance and effective board leadership," said Jordan. "Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand how engaged, forward-looking boards help organizations navigate change, manage risk and create long-term value. I look forward to continuing to support directors and executives as they address the opportunities and challenges shaping today's business environment."
As regional managing partner for Texoma, Jordan leads Grant Thornton professionals across one of the firm's largest markets, focusing on talent development, market leadership and helping clients address their most complex business challenges. Jordan has been NACD Directorship certified since 2020 and also leads Grant Thornton’s Corporate Directors Council in Dallas, bringing board members together on emerging issues, networking and community engagement.
Jordan has served as executive sponsor of the firm's strategic relationship with NACD for more than a decade. She has been recognized by the NACD Directorship 100 multiple times throughout her career, reflecting her sustained contributions to board leadership through conducting strategic workshops in corporate governance and director education. Jordan is a three-time honoree of D CEO Magazine’s Dallas 500, which recognizes the region's most influential business leaders.
In announcing the 2026 Directorship 100 honorees, NACD President and CEO Peter Gleason said:
“These individuals set a powerful example of boardroom leadership excellence, and their contributions have made a lasting impact to their companies and their stakeholders,” said Peter Gleason, NACD president and CEO. “We are eager to celebrate their remarkable achievements and recognize their impact and influence at our upcoming NACD Directors Summit this October and our Awards Program and Gala, where they will be honored for their continued commitment to driving progress and success.”
