I hired Nicola for the position of Merchandise Manager at Sheridan, to lead the product strategy for the brand and to run the Merchandise function as the profit centre for the business. Nicola has the rare ability of being able to balance the art and science of product strategy - she collaborated effectively with all her peer functions (Marketing, Design, Supply Chain and Finance) and acted as the virtual leader of the product creation process, consistently delivering results. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola and am happy to be contacted to provide a reference.

ROA’s role is to identify regional areas that have employment and business opportunities. It also identifies migrants and refugees who are excited to take up those opportunities and assists them in getting job and business ready, moving to, and calling regional Australia home. Prior to connecting the two, ROA culturally prepares both migrants and refugees, and regional communities to ensure that the transition to life in regional Australia is smooth and sustainable. ROA want to play a role in advancing the regional Australian economy and society by connecting hardworking migrants and refugees to regional areas that offer cheaper housing, lower cost of living and a stronger sense of belonging.
