“It is not easy to find a technology leader like Nicole that can also articulate both process and code detail in a way that technical and non-technical folks alike appreciate and understand. Nicole and I were on the same executive team for 2 years in a very demanding, fast-paced, start-up environment. Under Nicole's leadership, she shepherded our multi-located, international development team into a process flow that encouraged collaboration and clarity between sales, customer success, product management and development. She also did a pretty good job protecting the roadmap from external and reactive inputs including a very difficult client facing executive (me). I have learned a lot from Nicole's benevolent leadership style and ability to juggle multiple priorities under pressure. She would be a strong asset to any development organization.”
