I have run strategic communications, infrastructure planning, and democracy-focused efforts in North America, Europe, the Balkans, Caucasus, and Africa. With this experience, I have developed a Swiss Army knife skillset centered on strategic business development, major organizational gap analyses, writing, research, data-driven planning, design, marketing, management, development, and culturally relevant stakeholder engagement. I am motivated to live and work deliberately – whether in the garden or racing around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1634427351848-FVOWK5JJOT8W76HV6SYP/IMG_0395.jpg Background - Capability I currently serve as a CEO’s right hand and all-around go-to executive. Whether we’re in the trenches, boardroom, airport, or remote wilderness outpost, I’m a handy wing-person who’s always ready to help through reason, care, experience, humor, and data-grounded analysis. As a life-long responsibility junky, I know who I am, where my strengths lie, where I shouldn’t tread, and what makes me a valuable asset, team member, and loyal/discreet professional. I don’t need credit for the final score – just the team and the pitch that makes winning worthwhile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1634492967041-8N00BBZNKU4NQQC2TYPQ/IMG_0184.jpg Background - Outlook I learned to take risks at an early age. I also learned to face fear head-on and to bet on myself and those around me. And while I’ve shanked plenty of golf balls, been thrown from a few horses, and missed some fish, coveys, and down-the-line aces, short-term setbacks haven’t stopped me. My path wasn’t mapped out, nor was it linear – in fact, the curves and detours have often brought the most satisfaction and success. Most important, I’m working everyday to improve who I am and what I do – no matter the task, no matter the stakes, no matter the recognition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Background https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Background https://www.nkparker.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1636123600334-PR96OT1IV5FNWOSHDUEU/IMG_1876.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1636122993670-ONZCEUQSG4RMECYAIUKV/IMG_0034.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1636124924573-FSMAVS0YPFJVOPVXP10E/IMG_1191.jpeg Home - Natus error sit voluptatem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/1636124744242-PNOV0QXDCQ4EC3KM8AQM/IMG_0377.jpeg Home - Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste. https://www.nkparker.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/cfc5fcbe-ab0c-4013-b1dc-d4051b0c5b03/tempImageEIXioZ.jpg Contact https://www.nkparker.com/resume daily 0.75 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61671f3da5eb5a7d2f6b8213/728efec7-44ce-417e-bb53-887927aa73ac/241107_NKParker_Resume_ReducedContactInfo.png Resume - My professional life at a glance.
