Who this is
- Author
- Speaker
- Founder
- World Chessboxing Champion
Nick spent eight years as a high-frequency trader on Wall Street, where a millisecond of wasted work was a measurable loss. That is where the obsession started. Leverage, the firm he founded afterwards, applies the same intolerance for wasted motion to teams instead of order books.
He is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author and has guest lectured at Columbia University. He is also a world champion at chessboxing, a sport that alternates rounds of speed chess and boxing, which is either irrelevant or the most relevant thing on this page depending on how you feel about composure under pressure.
