and compliance, with a focus on the ETF industry. Before taking on the Vice  
President role for SS&C Registered Fund Services, ETF Distribution and  
Operation Services, she held several roles at SS&C, being promoted along  
the way since 2011 due to her demonstrated ability to create and implement  
business solutions, operational procedures and written policies. Prior to SS&C, Nichole was instrumental in establishing operations and compliance policies & procedures for Mainline West LLC, a municipal bond broker/dealer specializing  in providing clients with institutional level access to the municipal bond  market, making available bonds not often accessible through traditional retail investment channels.

She has  been on ETF industry panels and webinars both as a panelist and moderator.  

She has also been a guest on the ETF Working Lunch and ETF Central  
podcasts. Her writing has provided her with the skills to consistently apply  
critical thinking, combined with the aptitude to operate independently or as  
a team. She has proven her ability to take a holistic approach to proactively  
identify and address issues. Nichole earned a Bachelor’s degree from Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas where she double majored in Mathematics and English. She is also a Certified  Mindful Leader earning her certificate from The Executive Coaching University where she was part of the first class to graduate.  

Nichole and her family enjoy spending time in the outdoors hiking many of the back trails and 14ers around Colorado. When she isn’t hiking, she is often found  with a camera in hand honing her photography skills and traveling. She is an  avid Formula 1 and MotoGP fan.
