ABOUT NINA NESTER

I am a senior strategic leader with over 20 years of leading technical teams. I believe that even the best strategy fails if the people executing it are constrained by manual overhead or fragmented data.Currently, as Chief of Staff for the TPM organization at TELUS, I am steering a 75-person TPM team through a transition to a product-centric AI-enabled operating model. My mission is to reclaim high-value delivery time by automating administrative and reporting work through AI-enabled productivity. I define the source-of-truth data framework that provides the CIO organization with an honest, real-time view of program health. By bridging the gap between executive OKRs and technical execution, I ensure our teams have the clarity and the space to drive massive enterprise impact.
