What Colleagues Have To Say
Product Manager
Shradha Satpute
Coming from the Professional Services world, where my focus was on solving problems for individual customers, Nikki guided me through a mindset shift. She helped me see the bigger picture and evaluate needs in the context of the broader market. Her coaching during this transition was invaluable, and it greatly contributed to my success in my current role. Nikki served as our go-to product coach, providing guidance on strategy, prioritization, and acting as a soundboard for our ideas.... we greatly benefited from her expertise. Nikki fostered an environment where everyone on the team felt safe to share their feedback. She ensured that every voice was heard and valued when feedback was shared. This inclusive approach created a sense of trust and collaboration among the team members. It was instrumental in our team's success, especially as we worked towards supporting and building our largest product portfolio.
Jr. Product Owner
Zarrin Ali
Nikki has been a truly exceptional mentor. Starting out my career in product ownership/mentorship was no easy feat, but every conversation with Nikki has made me much more confident in my abilities, not to mention more adept in my day-to-day activities. She is incredibly perceptive and has gotten to know me on a much deeper level which allowed me to receive guidance and mentorship that was more tailored to me as a person. Together we tackled subjects like strategic planning, writing user stories, and time management which allowed me to quickly learn how to run a large team independently. Working with Nikki has been a transformative experience and has made a great impact on my career progression thus far.
Customer Success Manager
Martha Hibbler
I always enjoyed having Nikki join my customer calls. She has an extremely pleasant personality, is always upbeat, and eager to help. She has amazing presentation skills and I was always confident and comfortable having her on customer-facing calls. Nikki is incredibly knowledgeable and happy to help figure out a solution to a problem that a customer may have. If the need the customer had wasn't yet to be released for OOTB she would help figure out a workaround so the customer can still get a workable solution. I would highly recommend working with Nikki in any scenario she will take care of your needs.

Director, Technical Sales
Dustin Smith
Nikki always impressed me during our time working together... always very professional, cognizant of her team’s role, and exceptionally organized. When Nikki and I first started working together she was critical in our roadmap refinement. Nikki put in a tremendous amount of work in ensuring that all enhancements were appropriately articulated, prioritized, and oftentimes consolidated to give visibility to what mattered. While doing this she was meeting with appropriate business stakeholders to ensure that what was prioritized was in line with the business needs and vision. A true professional, she’d ensure that people’s time was respected, individuals were heard, and everyone was treated equitably by facilitating open leadership discussions. She is a keen observer of inefficiencies and ineffective processes and proposed alternatives that enabled swift success for multiple business units.
Technical Service Delivery
Jim Fease
Nikki is a true Professional. Regardless of the situation, she always kept her cool. She presents all sides of a scenario and the risks/benefits of each and quantifies each action. She is always delightful to work with even with sometimes having bad news to deliver. She was excellent when she needed to talk directly with the “C” level customers. We always knew we could rely on her to say the right thing to help them feel better about the situation.
