Colleagues describe him as "I met Nick in September of '99 when I joined Stanley Black and Decker. We worked at the Easton MD plant for 3 years launching successful new generations of DeWalt Power Tools. His career took off in 2002 but our paths crossed often during my 23 years at Stanley Black and Decker. I had the opportunity to learn from him during a yearlong mentorship program in the mid 2000's decade. Our Teams later collaborated during significant technology transitions like the successful introduction of Brushless Motors and Lithium-Ion Batteries in Dewalt Power Tools as well as the launch of the Flex Volt Battery Platform. Nick's leadership in Operations and later as the Chief Supply Chain Officer, was greatly successful and respected. I appreciate Nick's influence in my career and the interest he has had in developing the people around him including me. I highly recommend Nick as a great Operations Executive, Team Developer and Strategist.", "I am pleased to write a recommendation for Nick, a former colleague of mine at Stanley Black & Decker, where we worked together to start Global Operations. Nick's experience combined with his exceptional business acumen and operations knowledge were crucial to the success of Global Ops, and I was continually impressed by his leadership skills and collaborative approach. As the CFO for Global Operations, I had the pleasure of working closely with Nick and saw firsthand the significant financial impact he had on the business. Nick's "say-do" ratio was exceptional, and he consistently delivered on his commitments, which earned him the respect of the entire team. Nick is an outstanding leader and colleague who is passionate about his work and who inspires the teams around him. His ability to lead and motivate larger teams is second to none, and I have no doubt that he would be an asset to any organization.", and "I had the privilege to support Nick and his SBD Global Tools & Storage team throughout the ongoing supply chain crisis (2020-22). Nick's vision, strategic leadership and active coaching were key to driving success and maintaining a high state of morale. Nick exudes confidence not just because of his years of experience leading at every level -- because he sees the objectives and key tasks clearly, communicates the strategy very effectively, and inspires his team to execute to a standard of excellence. If there's a gap on Nick's team in the future, I and many others, will fight to fill it!"
