What people say about working with Nicole Wight

Leaders, teammates and cross-functional partners on how I lead teams, build product marketing functions and turn strategy into measurable results.

“Hiring Nicole in 2019 for my Product Marketing team at Meta was one of the best hiring choices I ever made. For the three years I managed Nicole at Meta, she led a variety of strategic projects that included: developing and launching a net new external program for top young adult community leaders on Facebook, defining and documenting our programs' tone of voice and communication style, globally scaling our external product announcement and education strategy to support our growing external programs and the large volume of feature launches, working with technical roles such as Product Managers and Engineers to create internal user feedback loops to inform roadmaps and bug resolution.

What sets Nicole apart is her problem-solving. She approached her projects with a creative, collaborative mindset and eagerly "rolled up her sleeves" to jump into the thorny issues. For example, she was diligent at not only identifying and reporting bugs that could affect top users, but she would also write the business case on the potential negative impact of these bugs, then work internally to find the right stakeholders to fix potential issues. Her work on accessibility in product also reflects this. For our external programs, she developed and documented best in class accessibility standards to make our communities as inclusive and accessible as possible. This material was used to train teams internally, as well as external agency partners.

Nicole brings creative problem-solving, strong technical fluency, and proven experience scaling work.

I am providing this reference in my personal capacity (Nicole's direct manager for 3 years) and not as a representative of Meta.”

“Nicole is an incredible powerhouse combination of product marketing, community leadership and innovative thinking. Her work is strategic, forward-thinking and always grounded in the consumer and their needs. I was lucky enough to work with her directly on our Community programs at Meta and I always left in awe of her. Not only is she an exceptional coworker she is an incredible person. She would be an indispensable asset to any team.”

Adriana Rizzato, Creative Director @ Meta

“Nicole - there’s so much to say about Nicole that I’m not quite sure where to start. In the time that I had the pleasure to work with Nicole I’ve always been struck by enthusiasm. No task was too small, no detail too mundane, no question too trivial for her to tackle.

Her ability to understand technical products and how to explain the benefit to our communities was her super power. And her connection the public has directly influenced how products were built or adopted countless times.

Nicole is also just an incredible community builder. Not only did she crush running all of the PAG programming, she was a key culture builder internally on all of her Meta teams.

Meta lost an amazing worker. Anyone who gets the pleasure of working with a Nicole should consider themselves lucky.”
