Nick is a natural leader with excellent managerial skills. He has a determined character that focuses on the current tasks but what gives him that extra dimension is the eye for new markets and new channels.

I had the privilege of working for Nick during our time at Olympus. Throughout, Nick demonstrated natural, personable leadership and an incredible ability to inspire and motivate his whole team.

What stands out most about Nick is his ability to combine strategic vision with practical, hands-on leadership. For example, when we worked on the divestiture and subsequent sale of the diagnostics business together, he provided clear direction but also rolled up his sleeves and pitched in on the long nights.

I look back fondly on my time working for Nick. He was, and remains, a principal mentor to me. Nick took the time to invest in my personal and professional development, providing guidance, constructive feedback and invaluable opportunities to learn and grow.

A visionary leader who knows how to bring out the best in his team and deliver results.
