Nicholas McDonald
COO | CRO

I’m a strategic operator: I see the big picture, map the plan, and follow it through until results are delivered. Over the past 15+ years in fintech, technology, and digital media, I’ve earned a reputation for bringing order to fast-moving environments and translating vision into measurable outcomes.
My leadership rests on four essentials:
● Clarity of Direction – distilling strategy into clear frameworks that teams and boards can act on.
● Operational Excellence – putting in place the systems, processes, and governance that make growth sustainable.
● Commercial Impact – driving revenue through partnerships, multi-territory licensing, GTM strategy, and investor alignment.
● Execution with Accountability – ensuring strategy connects to delivery and creates lasting momentum.
I lead and align cross-functional teams across operations, IT, legal, sales, and marketing—whether in high-growth ventures or larger, established organizations. Highlights include building SOC 2 Type II compliance from the ground up, closing international licensing deals with Fortune 500 and global leaders, reducing operating costs by $850K, and securing six-figure grants for innovation and expansion.
Fluent in English and French, with experience across North America and Europe.
