Neal Poeppelmeier

Director of Product Management at Matterport

"Nicole has provided a great framework by which to look through and evaluate dozens of ideas…. she seeds each idea and keeps evolving it. Think of it like a snowball, which gets rolled and rolled over months, and then becomes a snowman. So much of this work happens under the radar too - you'll often hear about an idea from the executive team, but what you may not know is it was seeded months prior by Nicole. It's fun to see her ideas evolve and grow."

"Nicole brought this team together to create a visionary pitch... You know how rare it is when I have no notes. It’s time to build this future. Whatever we need to do, we’re going to make this happen. (1 year later, upon entering Beta for our first product release) This isn't easy to do. Congrats on a blockbuster successful launch!"

"Her superpower is helping people understand that they're wrong without making them feel like they're wrong. She brings them along on a journey of discovery. She shows people how to get there, instead of explicitly telling them where to go."
