Profile bio

About Tom Nickell

I’m an entrepreneurial CEO who loves taking ideas from concept to product, then creating valuable enterprises with fast growing US and international sales. For over 20 years, I’ve turned dreams into success for Fortune 500 companies, start ups, and non-profits on a global scale. One example: As founder and CEO, I built the team at Lightworks New Media and created a website combining content from 60 similar non-profits that won national Best of Class for our category. We then expanded to a broader product set of tools, resulting in a profitable internet business with thousands of clients worldwide. We also built an entire multi-million dollar platform for one client, spanning two years and coming in on time and under budget, almost unheard of in software.I get things done and ensure decisions are made. I bring a steady hand to situations of conflict, uncertainty, and setbacks, always keeping focused on the bigger prize. Working in a culture of creative, motivated thinkers is a top priority. I am most excited about opportunities with an international scope that have tangible potential to improve people’s lives. My work has typically had some combination of 4 themes: social impact, environmental benefit, technology, and multi-national reach.

Listed skills include Start Ups, Entrepreneurship, Strategy, Strategic Planning, and 48 others.
