What others say

“I worked with him 1:1 for three months and the level of expert advice, coupled with his personal approach to my own situation was unlike other mentors I have had in the past.
When you work with Nick, there is no cookie cutter copy and paste formula, as he works with your specific challenges and career stage.

His kind and approachable attitude was the cherry on top!”
