Bio
Oliver Shearman
I would highly recommend Nicole as a manager and have found her to be both supportive and attentive. She manages to balance a large portfolio of work and a large team with individual attention to projects and people and a strong ability to lead. I am very grateful to have worked for her during my time at the IB as I feel enriched by having her manage me and help enable my growth while directing my efforts to optimize our work together.
