Bio
Rosie Bell
It was a pleasure to work with Nicole at Kantar. Both supportive and challenging, Nicole really understands, values, champions and promotes great people focused internal communications and engagement. A natural coach and team leader, Nicole is a powerhouse of driving change and getting the best out of all projects she touches and people she leads.
Kelly Smith
It’s great working with Nicole. She has the ability to synthesis a problem and really cut through when you are in danger of getting stuck in the weeds. Pragmatic, problem solving approach makes her a real pleasure to work with!
Eve Dixon
I first worked with Nicole whilst she was at Heinz but more recently we were fellow board members at Kantar. Nicole's client-side experience has really helped shape her into a fantastic insight professional. She delivers business impact for clients and her strategic thinking helps join the dots across complex issues. Nicole understands how to develop high performing teams and is not afraid to try different ways of working. Her more recent focus on coaching and agile demonstrates her appetite for personal development and these approaches are reflected in her great people leadership. Nicole is a pleasure to work with and an asset to any business.
