Mike Smith
I has the pleasure of working with Nichole while I was the President of HII Nuclear. Though she is an expert HR professional, she is a leader who I involved in some of our most strategic decisions. Her professional expertise span employee benefits, talent acquisition, human capital strategy, HRIS implementation, conflict resolution, and security. She has also project managed the stand-up of several complex joint ventures. She is an expert negotiator who is extremely skilled in facilitating emotionally-charged discussions. A true asset for any business leader who is navigating organizational change. Regards, Mike Smith VP, Corporate Strategy, Lockheed Martin Corporation

I worked with Nicole for four years on the Paducah Deactivation Project. I have worked with multiple human resource organizations and personnel as a functional manager over the past 10 years. Nicole has been one of the most engaged and supportive HR professionals I have been fortunate enough to work with. She was highly successful in helping me navigate a complex teaming partner agreement to insure I was able to provide equitable compensation and recognition for my direct reports. Her help in interfacing with the human resources departments with the teaming partners was invaluable. She has a tremendous amount of experience and is constantly working on professional development activities to improve her knowledge and skills across the areas of human resources and compliance. She is a go to resource for any and all information you may need related to human resources and compliance programs within her area of responsibility.
