Nicole is an Alum of the 2019 cohort, and a sales manager at a Toronto fintech startup, Relay, and a graduate of Ivey Business School. She started in tech sales over five years ago, after falling in love with the social innovation economy during her undergrad. Nicole discovered social enterprises through MaRS and Enactus, which fused her passion for business strategy and social welfare. She eventually launched her own successful business of upcycling wheelchairs, and this still-active venture is a part of the Western University business curriculum. Across three companies, she’s generated millions in the pipeline, rolled out training for teams of 30+, generated hundreds of thousands in payment volume, and built a new sales channel from scratch. These varied experiences allow her to bring a unique perspective from the private to public sectors — the art form of fostering collaboration and change across stakeholders with varying needs and goals.
