Before joining Nesta, Nick spent the last year ‘up north’ completing an M.Sc. Public Economics programme at the University of York, which had a focus on development and well-being. Before that, he gained a B.Sc. Economics degree at Queen Mary, University of London.
Nick also worked in a business development role for a healthcare technology startup that gained a place on a Healthbox accelerator programme, based at Google Campus and provided support for The Bakery, an accelerator for tech startups working in advertising and communications.
