Nick is a stand out talent. His capacity to seamlessly meld his unique creative intellect, deep understanding of content based complex contract architectures for revenue maximization and assuredness in challenging scenarios that marry corporate content right holders with global emerging platform technology players, is simply second to none. Whether its digital strategy, business development, analytics or legal affairs, Nick is your first and last call in entertainment media / granulated content technologies deals.

I have worked with NIck on various projects over the years and he is my "go to" guy for digital media and entertainment projects in the US. I would recommend him to any company who needs help with digital rights management or doing deals relating to intellectual property assets.
