Colleagues describe him as "Nick has been an incredible tutor during my Product Management course at Academy Xi. Not only he has a vast knowledge and experience in Digital products, but he also has an extraordinary passion which he conveyed to all students during this remotely-led course (due to Covid). The tutorials have been beyond my expectations as Nick was able to bring people together with open discussions, sharing knowledge, and to virtually lead teams on mini-projects. He was highly dedicated to this role throughout the whole course, providing feedback and one-to-one sessions to help me shape my final project. He is professional, creative, and a great communicator. It was a real pleasure to learn from him!", "I worked with Nick on the AusPost Digital iD project, where he led the Moonshot team, which tested and validated innovation initiatives. During the 18 months working together, I learnt a great deal from Nick, but we also delivered some great work which made a significant impact on the direction of the product roadmap. Working in a challenging environment that at times was not supportive of a team who thought, and worked very differently, I saw Nick repeatedly execute product discovery to a high level despite the constraints put in place. Nick is skilled in working with multiple stakeholders from diverse business interests and is able to change his approach based on their situation. Whilst he is one of the most strategic thinking colleagues I’ve ever worked with, he can still back this up with an ability to plan and execute a project in a collaborative manner. He is a great team leader that will be successful in any Innovation, Design, or Product team. I look forward to working with Nick again in the future.", and "I had the opportunity to work with Nick to setup an innovation strategy in our company. Nick’s ability to vision the end goal and understand the steps to achieve success are remarkable and compliments he’s strategic skills. On the execution level he’s able to identify when to pivot from the original plan and when to continue to achieve desired outcomes. He’s well connected in the startup scene and was a critical instrument in our early journey to setup an innovative culture."
