About Nick Lumsden

A strategic and accomplished executive who transforms struggling teams into growth-aligned technical and operational excellence. Proven success through multiple extraordinary exits and $2.6 billion in value creation, realigning legacy, early-stage, non-performing, and poorly structured technology and product organizations to create thriving organizations that consistently deliver. Advise C-suite, Board members, and investors on leadership strategies for driving transformation and aligning technology strategy to business goals. My reputation is as an incubator, innovator, and team builder, having built and run over 30 teams across a broad domain, including software development, cloud engineering, architecture, product management, DevOps, cybersecurity, data engineering, service delivery, GRC, infrastructure, technology operations, customer experience, and more.Currently seeking an operating role at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and high social impact. Organizations in or transitioning to Stage 2, growth-stage, or the 20-200 journey are where I have deep experience in business growth strategies and what that requires of leadership, engineering, product, and technology operations. These companies are likely Series B, C, recently backed by private equity, recapitalized for growth, or a late-stage organization struggling with a legacy team or recent acquisition.I am highly purpose-driven, investing my time and experience where I can create lasting social impact and drive real improvement in areas like healthcare, wellness, conservation, education, sustainability, and similar. I deliver outstanding shareholder value and know how to create it through revolutionary products, scale, operational excellence, and extraordinary customer experiences. But growth solely for the sake of growth is not what inspires me – bringing revolutionary approaches to causes like cancer treatment, transforming our education system, changing the outcomes for chronic illness, scaling sustainable alternatives, protecting our natural resources, and many more are all worthy pursuits and create, within and around me, passion for achieving success, creating a better world, and a sense of being part of something bigger than myself.To discuss an opportunity to work together, please send me a direct message or connection request, and let’s set up a quick call to get acquainted.
