Expert Product Development

Senior Technical Product Manager –
ABC News, BBC, VICE Media, HBO, First Look Media, MyoBand, Noted, The Ford Foundation and many more 

Hi there!

I've been involved in developing, producing and positioning products for my entire professional life – beginning with a degree in Industrial Design (aka Product Development), an early career in Art & Design Publishing, a linchpin role in a startup International Gift Product development and distribution company, and finally finding my true passion in Digital Products.

I bring a potent mix of deep experience, a growth oriented mindset and an incredibly collaborative and empathetic lens to products, people and processes I work with.

I’ve worked with the most elite brands in the industry –

“Nicole is a focused, driven, and engaging professional who was highly talented at HBO. Her creativity and problem-solving abilities were central to revolutionizing our digital product experience. Her innovative strategies in UX design and content imagery workflows, particularly evident in the successful launch of HBO NOW, showcased her exceptional talent. Nicole’s ability to streamline processes and enhance operational efficiency marks her as an invaluable asset for any organization.”
— Maynard Kay, Creative Director | HBO Streaming
“It’s my pleasure to recommend Nicole. I hired and worked with her for years at First Look Media. She was always very easy to work with and focused on delivering features, even or perhaps especially when that was a difficult prospect. Nicole worked extremely well with our developers regardless of whether we were working in an office or had switched to remote. I whole heartedly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a great technical product manager.”
— Felix Sheng, SVP Technology | FLM
“I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with Nicole on launching the deadline intensive new BBC.com suite, she brings a rare mix of technical understanding and people skills to her work. She quickly comprehends complex systems, whether media platforms or backend software architectures while forging constructive relationships with both engineering and business teams. Nicole communicated proactively across our entire launch organization - conveying requirements clearly to engineers while also setting realistic expectations with stakeholders, contributing immensely to the on-time product launch. ”
— Daniel Poli, Lead Delivery Manager
“I worked with Nicole for several years and can say without hesitation there is no one I would rather be alongside when deadlines are looming. Her ability to stay focused on what matters—and to get what is needed out of team members and stakeholders alike—are invaluable skills that make working with her a privilege.”
— Man Bartlett, VP Operations | Topic.com
