With over 15 years of experience in marketing, communications, design, innovation (and generally, fixing broken things or building from scratch), Nicole is a gritty and determined leader with a passion for sustainable transformation, a focus on digital and social, and a talent for creative and effective leadership.

After spending the last few years as a Digital Marketing Consultant working with start-ups and Fortune 500s, Nicole is now a business designer and marketer for the innovation team at Cambia Health Solutions, working to design disruptive experiences in healthcare.

Previously, Nicole was Vice President of Digital Marketing at Thompson Media Group. She managed the web, email, events and creative services departments with a focus on growing the online and new media channels. With the head of a marketing technologist and the heart of a designer, Nicole used her experience to make processes leaner and more efficient with marketing automation, so her team could focus on strategy and let technology take care of the rote work. As Vice President of Marketing at The Performance Institute from 2005-2010, Nicole was responsible for strategic planning, online marketing, branding, product development, corporate communications, and partnership development.

Nicole began her career as an award-winning graphic designer and account manager at a boutique real estate creative services firm before moving into marketing. She is a proud second-generation third culture kid, having living eight years overseas in Europe, Central and South America. She's also been retweeted by @sweden. Twice.
