Jan Scofield

A Career Built on Leadership & Innovation

For over 30 years, Jan Scofield thrived at the top of the IT world. As a senior executive in the Financial Services industry, she led global teams, managed multi-million-dollar technology portfolios, and safeguarded some of the world’s most sensitive data.
Her expertise spanned cybersecurity, digital transformation, cloud computing, disaster recovery, and strategic planning. She built top-tier teams of programmers, developers, and project managers known for delivering on time, on budget, and above expectations.

 

The Turning Point

After decades of high-stakes leadership, Jan embraced retirement — but slowing down wasn’t part of the plan. She envisioned something entirely new: a place where her leadership skills, passion for design, and love for the outdoors could come together in perfect harmony.

 

The Birth of Turkey Path Ranch

What started as a stretch of scenic Alabama land became Turkey Path Ranch — a haven for glamping, weddings, family gatherings, and corporate retreats. With the same strategic vision that drove her IT career, Jan designed the ranch to be luxurious yet grounded in nature, with every detail thoughtfully considered.

 

A Vision for Connection & Legacy

Jan believes that in our fast-paced digital world, people crave spaces that allow them to slow down, connect, and create lasting memories. At Turkey Path Ranch, guests can trade screens for sunsets, meetings for meadows, and Wi-Fi for wildlife.
Her mission is simple: “Create something beautiful, meaningful, and built to last.”

 

Experience the Vision

In Today, Jan’s professional precision and personal warmth shape every corner of Turkey Path Ranch — from the placement of a cabin to the curve of a hiking trail. Whether you come for a weekend escape, a milestone celebration, or a team-building retreat, you’ll feel the care and intention that started it all.
