Ambition Unboxed

At her core, Nicole Maaguo is a builder.  She helps build companies by bringing clarity and focus to tech stacks through strategic execution.  As a Tech Leader, Nicole has helped build non-profits, associations, startups, and Fortune 100 companies by bridging the customer/developer divide and imbuing customer success principles into technology teams and business practices.  She excels at building teams that can accomplish the seemingly impossible and unlocking value-driven growth.   

In 2019, Nicole added a new focus to her work: helping other ambitious women build their careers.  By creating Ambition Unboxed, Nicole's bringing her creative problem-solving to the unique challenges women face that far too often stall careers.  Challenges including workplace sexism, mentor-drought, and that critical voice in our own head.  She's on a mission to help women see and embrace the inherent beauty in their ambition while building the supportive community we need to thrive and more fully step into our potential.

​

Nicole has a Master's in Information Systems Management (MISM) and a Master's in Project Management from Keller Graduate School of Management (both earned in the evening with toddlers in tow) and a Bachelor's in International Affairs with a Minor in Economics from The George Washington University.  She also spent a semester in Kampala, Uganda, focused on Development Studies through the School for International Training and a semester in Nantes, France, studying French language and culture through the Institute for the International Education of Students.
