Karin Nelsen has been named Vice President of Legal and Human Resources for the Minnesota Vikings. Ms. Nelsen joins the Vikings after spending the last 18 years with Cargill, Inc.
“I will always be grateful for having had the tremendous fortune to work at Cargill the past 18 years and to benefit from their profound investment in my development as a legal professional and a business leader,” said Nelsen. “To transition to the Vikings, an organization that is so embedded in the fabric of Minnesota and one that is on the precipice of transforming our great community in so many unique ways, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an incredible fit. The cross cultural experience the last five years and the multitude of complex legal and business issues in which I have been involved have provided a tremendous foundation for me to apply my work with the Vikings as they continue to evolve and succeed.”
Ms. Nelsen is the third female vice president for the Minnesota Vikings. She joins Tanya Dreesen, Vice President of Partnership Activation and Special Projects, and Kate Shibilski, Vice President of Finance and Controller.
