Bio
Dave Cupples
Nicholas has amazing people skills and charisma and is a great mentor and a fantastic person to work with. He has an incredible ability to put people at ease which is invaluable for presenting, teaching or leading a team. He is very hard working and a consummate professional. Above all he is an honest straight shooter of the highest integrity and someone you can trust. I may add I have also met many of Nicholas’ colleagues from the AMI and various universities and all hold Nicholas in extremely high regard - his experience particularly in the education sector and with universities is second to none. Especially for any companies seeking an unparalleled expert in the edtech or learning space - Nicholas is your man. Any person or company who has the opportunity to meet or work with Nicholas is very lucky.

Research Assistant - The Virtues of Finance Project
-
Jun 2014 - Jun 2016
The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) that came to a head in 2008 has clearly been the major event in the financial world in recent times. The aim of The Virtues in Finance project is to conduct conversations with key people in the industry to distil ideas about the key lessons that have been learnt from the recent financial crisis. Understanding how rhetoric and behaviours have changed or not as a result of the GFC and its aftermath will also be a key area of research.
