Nikole Dickman

CEO, Envoy Managed Services

Nikole “It’s not really my story it’s the story of everyone around me.” That’s what Nikole would say if you asked her to walk you through her journey. Finding herself in a situation where she was going to be relocated and didn’t want to make the move, she took the severance package and walked away. The team she had been working with for the last decade were facing the same situation as well. Instead of parting ways, Nikole started a company, brought her team onboard, and they walked right back into their previous company as consultants to finish the project her team had started.

Nikole is a humble CEO, never taking credit for creating anything, instead always crediting the team. She is an expert in finance and uses her knowledge to lead her IT company.
