Founder | FAB7 Global Advisory
With more than two decades of international leadership experience across the energy and industrial sectors, Nick brings hands-on expertise in business development, global operations, strategic relationships and investment recovery, including oversight of more than $250 million in asset transactions and sales across his career.
For more than 15 years, Nick worked on the service-provider side of investment recovery, helping Fortune 500 and multinational companies market, manage and sell surplus assets across global markets. That experience provided a firsthand view of the challenges asset owners face—from valuation and route-to-market decisions to tendering, contracting, logistics and transaction execution.
FAB7 was created to bring that experience to the other side of the table. Today, Nick applies that knowledge as an independent advisor focused on the asset owner’s objectives—not a particular auction platform, broker, sales channel or disposition provider.

FAB7 reflects two personal inspirations: a family of seven and the enduring inspiration of Michigan basketball's iconic Fab Five era.
That combination represents the values behind this independent advisory business: commitment, teamwork, resilience and the ambition to pursue meaningful opportunities.
FAB7 is an independent business and is not affiliated with the University of Michigan or its athletic programs.
FAB7's advisory approach is informed by decades of hands-on experience supporting complex industrial asset transactions, international commercial programs and investment recovery initiatives. Engagement examples and relevant experience can be discussed during an initial consultation based on your sector, geography and objectives.
