About

Nick Padley

My name is Nick Padley. I work as a Senior Program Manager at Logile, where I lead a teams deploying enterprise labor planning, scheduling, and time platforms.

I'm a continuous learner with a passion for the voice of the customer and building strong professional relationships. Outside of work, I spend time with my family, am learning to play the organ, and stay active through endurance sports.

I maintain a presence on LinkedIn. I've intentionally scaled back other social media — when something is free, the user is the product.
