Bio
Elliot Elam
I first worked with Nick in Liverpool, England - where he was responsible for providing the highest quality addiction and social care, among a hugely complex framework of funding constraints and competing priorities. Most recently, I've worked with him in his role as co-founder and CEO of Hopeland, a charity based out of New York City. There, he's using the same clear head, super-smart thinking and entrepreneurial spirit to find positive and lasting solutions for children growing up outside of a family's care. I've always been impressed by Nick and I remain so.

Nick is a passionate, dedicated, and talented leader. I've had the honor of working alongside him in his capacity as CEO of Hopeland, and his creativity, resourcefulness, and vision are amazing assets. Not only is he engaging and personable, he quickly captures and distills complex problems and finds strategic paths forward that will lead to significant impact. I love that part of his career has been working to ensure more children have loving families, because that is a passion of my heart as well. I can think of no better ally to have in that work than Nick Evans.

Sep 2013 - Nov 2014
In this role I have been responsible for overseeing a number of contracts across the North West of England. I've been asked to showcase the services I manage to many national visitors, a recent example is the DoH lead John McCracken. Responsibilities included managing a portfolio of services such as primary care, criminal justice, community recovery and young person’s services. I managed the financial, performance, stakeholder aspects of a number of services over different locations. I enjoyed leading and working with others to achieves results. I served as a board member and trustee of a number of charities. I have worked with GP colleagues to develop an innovative approach to substance misuse which treats the whole person in a truly holistic way in line with a public health approach. This approach has attracted national attention from Public Health England. This model was also presented at the national RCGP (Royal College of General Practice) conference in 2014.
