Influential Women proudly recognizes Davida Adams Stewart in its distinguished 2025 series, celebrating her as a visionary leader whose influence spans across industries including banking, finance, accounting, transportation, railroad logistics, aircraft logistics, executive coaching, and financial consulting.
As Senior Manager of Client Experience and Talent Management at Hayes & Associates, LLC in Omaha, Nebraska, Davida exemplifies a strategic, people-first approach to operational excellence. Her ability to align business performance with human potential has made her a standout figure in her field.
Armed with a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Davida has built an impressive career, holding leadership positions at renowned organizations such as First National Bank of Omaha, Union Pacific Railroad, G2 Secure Staff, Mutual of Omaha, Amazon Air, and GAT Airline Ground Support. Known for her results-driven mindset and calm under pressure, she has earned a reputation as a problem solver, mentor, and catalyst for leadership growth.
In her current role at Hayes & Associates, Davida leads cross-functional initiatives to optimize business processes and enhance organizational performance. She is particularly admired for her talent in cultivating meaningful relationships—with clients and team members alike—that drive sustainable success. As an executive consultant and finance expert, she has guided small business development, led departmental growth strategies, and spearheaded large-scale onboarding programs that successfully trained over 80 employees in a single rollout. Her leadership style blends transparency, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Beyond her corporate achievements, Davida is a dedicated community advocate, actively supporting organizations such as the Urban League of Nebraska, Nebraska Opportunity Exchange, Family Housing Advisory Services Planning Committee, and the Metro Omaha Women’s Business Center, where she previously served as Finance Officer. Whether she’s mentoring emerging leaders or fostering partnerships that empower others, Davida approaches every endeavor with passion, purpose, and precision.
Reflecting on her journey, Davida attributes much of her success to her ability to pivot seamlessly across industries and adapt to evolving environments. “My ability to adapt and bring fresh insight to each opportunity has been instrumental in my growth,” she shares.
A defining piece of wisdom that has guided her career is the understanding that true change begins within.
“You can change your environment, but no matter where you go or what you do, you always take yourself with you,” Davida reflects.
For young women aspiring to make their mark in business, Davida offers this empowering message:
“Believe in yourself and know yourself. Confidence starts with self-awareness—understanding your strengths, values, and what drives you. That foundation will guide your decisions, help you navigate challenges, and allow you to stand firm in rooms where you may be the only one like you. Don’t be afraid to speak up, take risks, and own your accomplishments. The business world needs your perspective, your passion, and your leadership—so show up fully and unapologetically.”
Davida also acknowledges the challenges professionals face—particularly in industries like accounting, where teams often struggle with the pressures of tight deadlines and data-heavy workloads. She champions a positive, resilient workplace culture that emphasizes well-being and teamwork as essential ingredients for long-term success.
At the heart of Davida’s leadership philosophy lies one key belief: relationships are everything. She understands that trust, collaboration, and open communication form the foundation of every successful partnership.
When she’s not leading teams or empowering others, Davida enjoys traveling with her husband, especially to destinations that offer the serenity of breathtaking beach sunsets.
