How the practice was built

  1. Service standards

    Early years in luxury hospitality in Miami Beach, working to Five Diamond service standards, showed what a consistent standard of care looks like and what it takes for a team to hold to it.

  2. Operations

    Running multi-unit, 24-hour operations, including a 13-unit restaurant franchise, meant owning results through other people: hiring, training, and developing managers.

  3. Talent systems

    As the lead talent acquisition resource for a six-brand national field service platform, Nigel built the hiring playbook that was adopted across more than thirty brands, delivered more than 300 hires, and held first-year retention at the 80th percentile for six years.

  4. EVOL

    Today he brings that experience to organizations that run on people, and to professionals preparing for their next role.

Training first

The approach starts with how people learn and form habits. Standards hold under pressure when they are practiced, not only written down. The same thinking shapes EVOL's career readiness work with graduates and professionals in transition.

Recent work

EVOL designs career readiness programming for graduates, internship candidates, and transitioning professionals, built on the competencies employers use to evaluate talent. Nigel also led an executive search supporting a U.S. market entry for an international organization.

The name

EVOL is love, reversed, and the root of evolve. It is how we work: care for people, and steady improvement.
