The following recommendations are taken from my LinkedIn:

Spencer Cox Director of Product Management at Premise

I am delighted to recommend Nick, who was a standout performer in our team, rising from Product Manager to Senior Product Manager. Nick’s exceptional sense of ownership, combined with his innate leadership skills, significantly contributed to our team’s successes.

Nick’s customer interview techniques are particularly noteworthy. His ability to derive deep insights from customers and team members was pivotal in shaping our strategic direction. He is also highly coachable, eagerly embracing feedback and continuously seeking ways to enhance his skills. This adaptability has been instrumental in his rapid professional growth and in fostering a positive team environment.

Nick’s advocacy for new product management frameworks helped us align on an efficient approach to product strategy. Nick introduced myself and several team members to the North Star Framework and introduced new ways for us to think about value to our users at the time.

In summary, Nick is a dynamic and innovative leader whose contributions extend far beyond his immediate responsibilities. His combination of strategic thinking, technical expertise, and ability to adapt and learn quickly makes him an invaluable asset to any product management role. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any organization seeking a leader in product management.

Nick’s vision for product is about strategy. He’s looking for innovative ways to make a difference in the market and deliver features that are leading the industry standards. Nick won’t be satisfied with just being handed arbitrary business goals. He will question these goals with a mindset for users and where the industry is going. Nick is a great partner of design, and he understands the powerful ways that user research, user testing, and design systems are being implemented in the world’s greatest experiences. Nick is also a great partner of engineering, and he works with an awareness of using modern tooling and existing, legacy code. Nick is the best. Love this guy. And when all this blows over, I think he and I should get an apartment together.

Bill Bronske Senior Architect at Ratio / Globant

I’ve gotten to know Nick throughout his role as a Product Manager at Ratio and Globant. In addition to being a strong, warm, and positive team member, Nick brings an entrepreneurial spirit and tenacity to understand technical details beyond expectations for his role.

Nick and I worked as teammates to evolve an OTT video media delivery solution from starter kit to a predictable and repeatable product/SaaS offering. He researched and introduced tooling and process rigor to maximize team member contributions when available time was extremely rare. He successfully led delivery of quality solutions to multiple customers during those challenging times.

Nick leans-in on new challenges and technical unknowns. He’s initiated conversations with me and others to collect technically-deep wisdom, enabling him to better lead his team through data structure architectures and migrations of mission-critical financial systems. Nick does not settle for high-level thoughts, he arrives to conversations already prepared with his own careful research and understanding, seeking corrections and validation as needed.

I enthusiastically recommend Nick for any Product Management role. He possesses strong product management, team, and entrepreneurial skills. He can typically be found wielding a positive attitude, well-understood details and surrounded by a highly-motivated team.

Kate Connor Product Manager at Atria Wealth Solutions

I worked with Nick at my previous company. As a start-up, we needed someone who could hit the ground running, and Nick was our guy. He was a key partner in gathering stakeholder requirements on one of our major product initiatives. Start-ups do not always have the luxury of having customer experience researches on staff, and Nick assisted in developing a model to ensure we were gathering user feedback early and often. He operated from a strong basis of knowledge and confidence, and developed a product roadmap from scratch drawing on user feedback, competitors, and back office requirements. He is a strong facilitator and team player, making him especially useful in agile teams. I highly recommend him for any company that is looking to have both a successful product and team.

Russ Whitman Chief Strategy Officer, Founder at Ratio

Nick was a key leader and partner in the development of our OTT multi-screen product – Signal. He established our product roadmap drawing on key customer feedback and industry data and aligned it all with our technical team. Nick excels at product management in 3 key areas: goes deep into and really understands the details, establishes clear delivery plans aligned to key milestones for the business, and engages customers to bring them onto the product successfully. Excited to see his continued growth and would recommend him strongly.

Fred Clarke VP of Product at LivePerson

I had the pleasure to work with Nick while he was a product management contractor for my team. Nick is adept at breaking down a problem to determine the underlying needs of a customer and then translating those needs into a product vision and actionable, prioritized product requirements. Nick communicates clearly in writing and in meetings, and he demonstrated he can work effectively with both business and technical stakeholders. Most importantly, Nick is eager and willing to roll up his sleeves to tackle a difficult challenge.

Nick was a terrific asset for us, as I am sure he will be for others who have the chance to work with him. I have no doubt that Nick will continue to be successful in his career.
