BELLEVUE, WA — Áegis Living has expanded its executive team, adding three new leaders: Troy Nelson is the new chief operating officer; Jamie Ranzan has joined as chief financial officer; and Kevin Hunter has been appointed senior vice president of operations.
Drawing from nearly two decades of global operational leadership at Nike and Nordstrom, Nelson possesses the multi-faceted skills and experience to drive Áegis’ ambitious growth plans.
With more than two decades of finance leadership in senior housing, Ranzan joins Áegis from her tenure as president at Solera Senior Living and CFO/COO at MorningStar Senior Living.
Hunter’s 30 years in the industry include roles at Sunrise Senior Living, Atria, Watermark, and Hearth Management.

“Our expanding leadership team is pivotal to our success,” said Áegis CEO Dwayne Clark in a press release. “We just came back from a three-day summit, ‘Vision 2031,’ to chart our course for the coming years. The reality is we have a monumental demographic shift of baby boomers aging into senior housing. Áegis is positioned to offer deeply personalized, comprehensive care designed to ensure better overall health and wellbeing as residents age thanks to our team and roster of critical, strategic talent.”

In early May, Áegis launched a new provocative brand campaign, “Aging is Life.” Drawing local and national attention, the campaign has both been a success externally as well as internally among residents, families and team members.

“We are all future old people,” said Clark. “This campaign is an example of how Áegis continues to push the boundaries in senior living. Our communities and team members are nothing short of extraordinary and it is a pleasure to provide the highest standard of care, while also sparking important dialogues that start to change the societal narratives about aging.”
With 27 years of experience, Áegis Living is a privately held company that offers assisted living and memory care. Headquartered in this Seattle suburb, its 38 communities are in Washington, California, and Nevada.
