Hello, I'm Nick S.

I have always had the heart of an entrepreneur—driven by curiosity​,​ optimism​,​ and a deep appreciation for structured innovation. I thrive in dynamic environments​,​ balancing process with agility and embracing the opportunities that emerge through change. I believe success is built through connected ecosystems—talent​,​ strategic partnerships​,​ financial acumen​,​ and customer engagement—all working together to drive momentum and measurable outcomes. Looking back​,​ my career has been a strategic progression of experiences that shaped me into an innovation-focused leader. I began by mastering customer service and operations​,​ gaining a front-row seat to how products and services deliver value. My early leadership roles—from team lead to VP of Operations—gave me an in-depth understanding of business processes​,​ customer engagement​,​ and operational efficiencies​,​ setting a strong foundation for future growth. This firsthand experience led me to product and service innovation. I transitioned into account management​,​ identifying opportunities to enhance customer value through new solutions. Recognizing untapped market potential​,​ I built a practice focused on expanding into high-growth segments such as SMBs​,​ government​,​ and international clients—leveraging data and insights to develop scalable revenue strategies. My passion for product development took center stage when I led the creation of a Zillow-like valuation tool at SIRVA. This innovation empowered customers with highly accurate home market valuations​,​ giving them the confidence to make informed decisions about relocation. By aligning customer insights with business strategy​,​ we addressed a critical client need—securing top talent to drive enterprise success. Building on this experience​,​ I launched a startup in the cycling industry​,​ applying my expertise in commercialization and go-to-market strategies. From concept to execution​,​ I navigated product design​,​ prototyping​,​ manufacturing​,​ supply chain management​,​ and brand positioning. I secured capital​,​ engaged diverse stakeholders​,​ and built a business that resonated with both niche enthusiasts and mass-market consumers. At every stage of my career​,​ I have focused on identifying opportunities​,​ developing high-impact solutions​,​ and driving growth through innovation. I thrive at the intersection of strategy​,​ technology​,​ and customer experience—bringing ideas to market with agility and measurable success.
