In 1999 Nathan found himself intrigued by the “world” of the customer. When offered a CRM & Retention Manager position within Telecoms, Nathan jumped at the opportunity to apply his CRM, Retention Management, Churn Management, and Customer Service skills to the trade.

Having earned his stripes within the CRM field, Nathan wanted to complement his natural customer ethos with a strong foundation in business management.

Recognized as a high-potential executive, in 2005, Nathan’s career took a ten-fold leap in responsibility when he was sought out by Tracking Company and accepted a position as Executive Head: Information Management within the IT division.
The best way to realize this dream was a move into the Business Information Systems (BIS) arena, where he headed up a team of Business Analyst and IT Project Managers. This allowed him the opportunity where he gained a great deal of Business Analysis skills with a major focus on Analytics, Information Management, Data Mining, Data Integrity and Customer Life Cycle Management.
