ABOUT NICOLA UNGER

Senior Transformation & Operating Model Leader | Strategy to Execution | Governance, Performance, Compliance & AuditsEnd‑to‑end transformation: from strategy and operating model design to governance, performance management, compliance, and audits.I’m a high‑trust, high‑ownership leader at the intersection of structure and people. Colleagues describe me as the person who turns ambiguity into clarity, gets things finished, and keeps everyone aligned along the way.My core work is designing and evolving operating models: governance, performance rhythms, and ways of working that make complex, international organizations deliver reliably. I enjoy building pragmatic structures and dashboards that leaders actually use – and pairing them with the stakeholder work, empathy, and communication it takes for change to stick.People who work with me call me “a structured finisher” and “go to sparring partner”: the person who keeps momentum when things get messy, asks “have we missed anything?”, and still makes others feel heard and supported. I’m often asked for advice on senior stakeholder dynamics, governance and compliance topics, and how to communicate sensitive decisions in a fair, human way.What others say about me: a high integrity, empathic, structured finisher who creates clarity, connects people, and delivers outcomes – with an ongoing focus on simplifying, setting boundaries, and backing my voice even more at VP level.
