About
Nick Caprioli accidentally stumbled into Project Management after two years in Computer Engineering school at Purdue University. The shocking part? It turns out he’d been doing it since middle school. From stage productions to yearbooks and football teams, Nick has been in the land of Project Management for over 15 years, the last five of which include professional experience in the transportation, finance, and hospitality industries.
Some favorite projects include:
The Digital Signage buildout of the White House Black Market flagship store in Santa Monica, CA
Developing the process to transition over 3,000 users from different Messaging & Collaboration instances to a single instance
A complete redesign of the Montgomery Bell Academy Year book (as Editor-in-Chief)
Implementing a brand-new Help Desk system
Managing three sports teams during his senior year of High School, including managing the Varsity Football Team
Over 30 theatrical productions as a member of the stage management or technical direction teams
Nick also is an amateur application developer who enjoys photography and traveling with his friends and family.
