Nadine Parkington - Think NimbleNadine Parkington - Think NimbleNadine Parkington is the Founder of Think Nimble who provides digital marketing strategy for established brands. Her core philosophy revolves around the use of combining technology, communications and data to help business leaders make informed decisions.

The Think Nimble approach centres on imparting knowledge about technology and how it is driving changes in customer behavior. And, as a result, how organizations should adapt their strategy to give themselves the best chance of future success.

Nadine’s work is based on education, facilitation and coaching. She has pinpointed the challenge for leaders who need to know what is happening in the marketplace whilst at the same time dealing with uncertainty of not having all the answers.
