With over fifteen years of experience in customer experience, marketing, and sales, Nick has developed a strong track record in crafting innovative marketing strategies and driving sustainable growth across various industries, including retail, health, fitness, education, and technology.
His passion for the human services sector began at Hireup, an online platform that connects individuals with disabilities to support workers, fostering independence, choice, and control. Although he temporarily left the sector, he felt a powerful call to return, recognizing the immense potential for innovation and meaningful support within the industry. At New Horizons, Nick is eager to contribute to the organization’s mission of providing exceptional solutions for individuals in need across Australia.
In addition to his role at New Horizons, Nick serves as a Board Member and Director of Marketing and Communications for the United Nations Association of Australia. In this position, he utilizes his expertise to advocate for the UN’s vital efforts in maintaining international peace, human rights, and sustainable development.

His career journey also encompasses vital marketing and growth roles at Up Education, Open Colleges, Luxottica, and LexisNexis, allowing him to build a comprehensive skill set in brand development and customer experience across diverse products and services.
Nick holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and International Business from Loyola University Chicago and a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Illinois State University.
Outside of his professional life, Nick is a dedicated father to his almost five-year-old son, with whom he enjoys various activities, such as visiting the beach, riding public transportation, and exploring museums. He embraces the outdoors, often spending weekends swimming, camping, and hiking. Although he has a deep love for USA sports, he has been making efforts to immerse himself in Australian sports over the past decade.
