About Us

Robert Ordever joined O.C. Tanner in August 2014, as our European People and Operations Director. From luxury retail to Premier League football, Robert's operational background has given him a real passion for creating a workplace culture that truly gets the best out of its teams. At O.C. Tanner, his passion and drive helps each of our clients win and remain winners. Outside of work, Robert is a proud Dad and devoted Fulham Football Club fan.

An executive is only as good as the team she leads. Joanna Morley, our Director of Finance, lives that mantra day-in and day-out at O.C. Tanner Europe. She joined our company with 16 years of experience and an FCCA designation. No task is too big or too small for Joanna. She enjoys working shoulder-to-shoulder with her fellow Appreciateologists and is willing to do what's necessary to get a job done. When she isn't crunching numbers for O.C. Tanner, Joanna spoils her niece and nephew, travels, watches tennis and spends time with friends and family.

David joined O.C Tanner in September 2019 having spent nearly 10 years leading sales teams across various industries. He has a strong background in solution selling as well as developing people and driving growth. Outside of work, David’s time is primarily spent with his family, which normally involves dog walking, watching sport or travelling.

Stephen first joined the Board of Directors almost thirty years ago with the primary qualification of having studied philosophy, a credential that meant something to his grandfather Obert C. Tanner. He worked within the company for several years before returning to academic pursuits. He now teaches in the philosophy department at the University of Utah and continues his research and writing in the history of science. Continuing the philanthropic legacy of the company is an important priority for him. Stephen has a deep appreciation for the importance of a strong workplace culture in the success of organizations. Stephen’s insightful mind has led him to earn a degree in philosophy from Stanford, and a Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science from Cambridge. He has also served for 20+ years as a trustee of the Tanner Lectures on Human Values. Most mornings this accomplished leader, scholar and athlete can be found at CrossFit.

Dave arrived at O.C. Tanner offering his services without a job interview or offer. If the company wasn't pleased after a month's work (without pay), he'd pack his things. Lucky for us, 30 years later he's proven his determination, dedication and capabilities time and time again, in literally every department of the company. Coupled with a bachelor's degree in international business from Brigham Young University an MBA from Thunderbird American Graduate School of International Management, make him a globally-minded leader for our global company.

A veteran auditor and consultant, Scott Sperry has always worked well with numbers. But, as our Chief Operating Officer, Scott really shines when working with people. He knows great results come from a team's hard work, starting at O.C. Tanner in 2003, he has endeavored to be transparent and build trust. Scott is a Certified Public Accountant, with a wealth of experience from work at two global accounting firms. He has an accounting undergraduate degree and an MBA, both from the University of Utah. Scott is a big college basketball and football fan, but also enjoys fishing and spending time outdoors with his wife and their seven children.

A team player, Scott Archibald is always ready to listen and learn. He knows how to get the story from the details, and brings a wealth of experience from both the private industry and public accounting. Prior to working at O.C. Tanner, Scott has held a range of positions, including Vice President of Finance, Controller, and Auditor. A certified public accountant, Scott has an undergraduate accounting degree and an MBA from the University of Utah. He and his wife Lori are the proud parents of five kids.

Whether he is in Germany or Jamaica, Ty Brown travels anywhere for a great adventure. That dedication helps recognition culture grow all over the globe. He listens, he experiments, and he builds consensus. He aims to meet needs of colleagues and clients alike by drawing on his background in operations, human resources, sales, manufacturing, and supply chain management. He also has a bachelor's degree in Accounting and an M.B.A.-both from Brigham Young University. This reservoir of experience has benefitted our company since Ty joined O.C. Tanner in 2003, helping our organization deliver award fulfillment solutions to clients in 130 countries. He shares all of his professional accomplishments with his staff, but the adventures Ty cherishes most are those with his wife and their four children.
