"His background will be invaluable as Environmental Solutions Worldwide seeks strategic partners for these ventures and prepares to introduce these unique products to the transportation world. He speaks the automotive industry's language.
    Prior to joining Environmental Solutions Worldwide, 45-year-old Nicole was managing director of two U.K.-based international marketing consultancies. His client companies included many of the world's premier transportation and aerospace/defense companies, including BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace), Lockheed Martin, Iveco Ford, Renault U.K., Saab Scania, and Hughes Aircraft. In addition, he provided marketing consultancy to the U.K. Ministry of Defence and Australian government. Over the last ten years, Nicole has become an expert in winning new business on behalf of client companies across industry sectors.
    Earlier in his career, Nicole was an officer in the British Army. His assignments ranged from managing R&D programs for the Ministry of Defence, to procuring advanced vehicle systems.
