Nicole Williams has been shaping the future of women’s careers since before it was a category. Today Meraki Career Management is a leading brand of its own — partnering with women to go further faster than they could on their own.
With Meraki, Nicole manages and connects women who want to increase their profile and reach their full intellectual, creative, and earning potential.
Meraki Management is a first-of-its-kind career management firm dedicated to partnering with women to design careers that align with their voice, values, and vision for impact while positioning them as thought leaders in their field — no matter the industry.
Fulfilling a need for visually-impaired
Canadians, Nicole created an accessible
career development program, which
would later go on to be audited by the
federal government and offered across
the country.
With a record-breaking book deal,
Wildly Sophisticated was released
as the modern day working guide
for women, kicking off three
bestselling books authored by
Nicole in under five years.
After moving to NYC, Nicole received
a multi-million dollar investment,
allowing WORKS to expand from
coaching and workshops to a
provocative and trusted multi-channel
platform for women at work.
Using the Girl On Top book launch as
an opportunity to attract hundreds of
influential women across the country,
Nicole stewarded a 15-city, 17-event
tour that exposed new customers to
The Limited brand and established
their clothing line as the go-to for
professional attire.
Nicole was recruited to represent LinkedIn
in consumer-facing media and head up
internal and branded career content,
solidifying LinkedIn’s position as the
leading resource for all matters career.
Recognizing the gender and
structural dynamics that influence a
woman’s potential, Nicole launched
the ELLA WORKS Foundation, giving
back to a community of women
who have been overlooked and
underserved in their personal
development and career preparation.
Using a Hollywood-esque style of
management to amplify women regardless of
the industry they work in, Meraki specializes
in career strategy, partnering with our clients
to reflect their potential, clarify their voice,
sharpen their positioning, and build the
visibility required for high-impact careers.
Founded in 2020, ELLA WORKS is a career development and mentorship program assisting trafficking survivors and women transitioning from the commercial sex industry.
Meraki offers what no one else does: a high-touch, identity-led career strategy — with execution to match, using a Hollywood-esque style of management to amplify women — no matter the industry.
