I am Candyce Thieken,

a senior finance leader with more than 15 years of experience spanning capital markets, financial product development, and agribusiness financing. I have built and scaled innovative financial solutions across multinational organizations and entrepreneurial ventures, consistently driving growth through strategic funding, partnerships, and risk management.

Today I lead

Finance Business Intelligence at Nutrien with global teams in finance reporting, automation, master data, governance, risk and compliance. My leadership has delivered measurable impact, including repositioning finance reporting as a value creation function, generating $1.9M in net benefits in 2024, and expanding automation capabilities across the enterprise. 

Before joining Nutrien,

I worked as the Vice President of Finance for Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at JPMorgan Chase, where I designed a firmwide valuation processes for a $9B+ AI/ML investment portfolio and strengthened investor and board communications. 


Earlier in my career, I co-founded and scaled Novus Ag, one of the top 100 U.S. ag retailers, which was grown through acquisitions and innovative grower-centric financing solutions before its successful sale to a private equity firm at a 10x return on investment.


My career also includes leadership roles at Agland Co-op and Crop Production Services, where I drove financial turnarounds, designed grower financing strategies, and negotiated third-party capital programs with global banks, insurers, and agri-finance institutions.


I bring a unique perspective as both a corporate finance executive and an agribusiness founder, understanding firsthand that access to capital is the key driver of adoption, sales, and long-term growth. I am known for my ability to align financial solutions with business strategy, cultivate global investor relationships, and lead high-performing teams across complex, matrixed environments in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and beyond.


I hold an MBA from the University of Phoenix and a BSBA in Accounting from the University of South Dakota.


My husband, Jim, and I reside in Windsor, Colorado. We are the proud parents of three sons ages 15-23.
