Partnering with Nick has been pivotal for the trajectory and continued success of our business. His advice has been excellent, as has his ability to attract the best game-changing talent to a business at our growth stage. He provides invaluable insight and guidance on many aspects of building a world-class organisation and has successfully hired senior leaders into multiple functions at PillSorted. Early in the process, he invests a significant amount of time to truly understand the value and culture of the founders and the core team. This plus his deep experience of working closely with Founders to solve problems really shines through, he's a delight to work with.
