Bio
Mustafa Said Duz
He was the best team LEADER I ever had.
Tomasz Weigensperg
I had the privilege of working with Nick for more than 3 years at PMR Ltd. and EMBS Group. Definitely Nick is one of these rare, charismatic managers with a strong business acumen who also naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for his staff. His exceptional communication skills combined with remarkable business development, sales and marketing experience and knowledge makes him a great asset to any organisation and clients he assists. He is also a great networker with strong ability to build and maintain lasting business relationships. In a nutshell, very talented manager with entrepreneurial mind set, great networker, fantastic colleague and certainly can get my full recommendation!
Wojtek Skoczek
I have to admit that having Nick as my manager for more than two years was one of the best experience in my career. Being a true leader with strong character and result oriented mind he provided guidance and support developing people that worked for him on a daily basis. He was bringing high standards, setting an example to follow and motivating the team by sharing passion and energy with each of us. His unique and contagious way to bring enthusiasm and get the best of his team is something that makes him a very exceptional at staff development and has resulted in building a high performing team. Nicholas interacted directly with clients as well, establishing solid relationships which are still bringing profits to the company. To do it day-in and day-out consistently is the mark of a great leadership and real understanding of what it takes to lead a team of professionals to achieve superior performance. Nicholas is a seasoned sales veteran with ability to mentor and drive his team as a manager however, I have to say that, on top of his managerial skills and talents, we gave our best working for him because he was always a good colleague, day-in and day-out. Honest, diligent and with a great sense of humour. We could always count on him standing behind our back – not to watch us but to see us growing. I have learnt so much from Nick about sales and business development that I can only hope this recommendation is somehow capable of fully expressing it. I am 100% sure that he will bring growth and success to every company and each individual that decide to work with him.
