Lafayette American (formerly Global Chief Creative Officer, Global Team Ford - WPP)

"Nicholas Oliver is one of a kind. He is innovative, progressive, and excellent at execution. Nic would be better described as a Master at Navigation."

Drew Elliot, Editor-in-Chief - PAPER Magazine

"Nic is a fascinatingly creative innovator who inspires people to think differently."

Nicolas Marullo, President & CEO - CINCO

"Nic is one of the most innovative and strategic minds I've ever known in business and someone I constantly turn to for advice on the biggest problems I have. He understands technology intimately and has a brain that can cut though the board room and resonate with the top people in the room. I consider Nic to be the truest definition of a modern media thinker and his massive accomplishments so far are testament to that."

Mark Adams, VP & Head of Innovation - VICE Media LLC

"His register of what's going on 'out there' is equally remarkable and not easily exhausted. All this results in Nic being an evangelist for big digital-first ideas."

Paul Venn, President & CEO - Hudson Rouge (WPP)

"Nicholas is a gifted thinker, with a discerning ability to reach into the future and narrate it in the language of today. Directly, and through his vision for people.io, he has given colleagues and I regular advice on the evolution of data privacy, ethics and artificial intelligence and the policy surrounding it; including a recent collaboration on speeches given during a crucial House of Lords debate on the incoming Data Protection Bill. He's an individual that stands-out as a purpose driven visionary, who will undoubtedly play a defining role in how we solve these most pressing challenges."
