Career History

He first started out in the ICANN staff as a consultant to a European/African ALS community group who worked to grow, maintain and bring to fruition the structure of RALOs needed to bring those regions of the world an understanding of what it means to be part of ICANN and revealing their overarching goal.

He was once the Executive Director of International Music Managers Forum, this forum represented musicians at the international spectrum as opposed to the generalization of specific country artists. Some of these artists included James Brown, “The Godfather of Soul” and the band called Heaven 17.

Nick has also worked a consulting IT leadership position in a for-profit company where he would stay in a director’s position for a 20 year career in the multilateral world. These fields would include many different tasks but there was much urban development as well as negotiations at the World Intellectual Property Organization for purposes of diplomacy.

Throughout his career he has continually worked as both a non-profit, privately held and for-profit worker as both a director of services and varying other positions within a given ICANN field of play. He even ascertained partnership at the Lansharks EIS, Inc. which paved the way for his continued prolonged career.
