Bio
Amy Laura Burt
Nicole was the reason I joined Axora. From the first phone call I knew that I wanted to work with her, and I absolutely made the right decision. She is an inspirational and nurturing leader, who really understands people and what they need to stay happy and motivated. She is incredibly well respected, not only for her wealth of knowledge and expertise across the board, but because of her ability to connect and articulate her strategic thinking with tact and self confidence. During my time at Axora I learnt so much form her. She’s been an amazing boss, mentor and colleague, and I would work with her again no question.

Nicole did an incredible job getting our Axora brand and growth marketing off the ground and scaling up. A strong team leader who rightly had a very loyal and motivated team, it was also a pleasure to partner with Nicole on our leadership team. A first class B2B CMO.
