I've had the pleasure of working with Nick French in several different capacities over the last 3 years. Nick provided support for a wide variety of transactions across several companies and always managed to maintain an incredibly high level of clarity and calmness in often highly stressful situations. Nick has the ability to successfully operate from the 10,000-foot level or can dive into the weeds in order to form an educated opinion, recommendation, or to just move a project forward; I personally found this skill to be remarkable.

Whether it's in a strategic or operational capacity, Nick is able to think critically, make informed assessments, and then successfully deliver options in any given situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Nick for a position within any organization.

As a start-up founder with skills in the content of my venture, but not the financials, Nick has quickly become an integral advisor. His unique lens brings clarity to the financial strategy, which shapes and strengthens the entire venture. Through working with Nick, I've consistently felt more focused on the next steps I need to take for the venture to move ahead. Nick has an impressive ability to dig into issues, even in new areas, and pick out the relevant information to analyze. His financial knowledge and strategic thinking bring great value.

Nick is also very easy to work with. In our conversations, I've found he is open and honest about his plans and his values, making it easier to see the true areas of alignment that are needed to support a long-term working relationship. He is curious and asks great questions, and is resourceful when it comes to answering those questions. I particularly appreciate Nick's ability to give practical suggestions on how to move forward even when the situation is far from straightforward.
