Nathaniel has more than a decade of experience as an information technology executive, most recently as Director of IT Services for Greenleaf Health. During his time with Greenleaf, Nathaniel initiated significant security improvements to the organization’s devices, systems, and electronic documents and communications. He also transitioned the firm’s internal IT support away from a managed service provider, guiding the organizational change and expectations while optimizing all outsourced processes.

Nathaniel’s expert, detailed management of these systemwide IT enhancements enabled Greenleaf to exceed client expectations for information security and workflow which bolstered the substantial growth of the firm’s team and client base. Throughout these efforts, he continued to provide direct support for all software and hardware solutions, administer and audit existing systems, create training and reference materials to help end users make the best use of tools, and advise on internal and external projects such as the redesign of Greenleaf’s website.

Nathaniel was previously Senior Advisor at Mindovo, Inc., a technology advising firm, where his client-facing activities focused on developing innovative IT systems and procedures for CEOs, philanthropists, and local celebrities. He also served as the lead for two regional offices where his strategic planning and execution resulted in year-over-year annual revenue growth and single-day sales records. Additionally, Nathaniel developed other advisors directly through the creation of sales and execution materials and lessons.

Prior to this, Nathaniel mentored students and worked as an advocate and liaison between the student staff and professional staff at Michigan Technological University, earning several awards in recognition of his work, including Staff Member of the Year. Nathaniel graduated magna cum laude from Michigan Technological University with his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.
