Nicole's experience, depth of knowledge and skill belies her youth. She is a much sought after investor and mentor in the international arenas of sport media and new technology ventures working across Europe, Asia and North America. Nicole initiated her business career in 1998 with the establishment of her own online gaming platform business Winamax which she later successfully sold. She played a lead role in the huge success of securing the soccer world cup rights for Germany in 2006 and subsequently became instrumental in the global expansion of Infront, one of the leading Sports Media rights companies in the world. Leveraging off her Infront participation, Nicole progressed to identifying the opportunity to establish and manage the first dedicated sports fund in the world for which she raised circa E250m from investors.
