Victoria Quan Mack: Managing Director of Financial Planning & Analysis
PROFILE
Victoria Quan Mack has a secret passion, and it’s not what you might think.
She really (really) loves Excel. “It’s like cultivating a story from numbers,” she gushes. “I get to make numbers visually pleasing for a non-finance person to understand. I tell a story for others outside my team to be able to conceptualize numbers, make decisions from them, and make their lives easier. It’s my favorite thing.”
Victoria has been managing director of financial planning & analysis at Relay for two years, following a career as a K–12 teacher. She’d planned on becoming a school or family counselor, but found that teaching suited her better; it became her way to “give back to society.” She marvels at the impact teachers make on students, and Relay has provided her with an opportunity to do the same for teachers..
“It all trickles down to the student,” she says. “Relay really hones in on making sure teachers have the right tools and approach to make a positive impact on the student.”
Born in Iowa, Victoria was raised in Texas, where she currently resides. She particularly likes that Relay’s workforce is located all around the country. “There are so many people with different perspectives to learn from,” she says. “Everyone coming from a different background and living in different areas of the United States has allowed for such variety. We get multiple solutions that I would have never thought of to problems and questions. I am surrounded by all these intelligent people, and I’m just enthralled by it.”
A single mom of “three amazing kids,” Victoria is currently looking for a hobby outside of being an Uber for them, and she is considering baking and completing puzzles. Or she could go with her other secret passion: organizing. “If you give me a garage full of junk or a closet or junk drawer, it makes my heart happy when I can just put it in bins or put it in groups with color coding,” she says. “I really love organizing — it’s right up there with Excel.”
