IWEC is very pleased to announce our latest Global Ambassador for the United States, Tamara Nall, The Leading Niche. Tamara joins three other IWEC Global Ambassadors in the US and 7 from other countries around the world.
Tamara Nall lives by the mantra, “to whom much is given, much is required,” and uses this to guide both her personal and business lives. Ms. Nall is the CEO of THE LEADING NICHE, an award winning and internationally recognized company known for using data and cutting-edge consulting to deliver ‘actionable intelligence’. THE LEADING NICHE supports commercial and government customers in domestic and international markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa. The Firm provides big data, cybersecurity, intelligence, Health IT, regulatory/compliance and investigative/examination consulting.
THE LEADING NICHE has received numerous recognitions. Some of these recognitions include Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Privately-Owned Companies in America; ICIC Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies; SmartCEO Circle of Excellence Award; SmartCEO Corporate Culture Award; The Network Journal’s 40 Under Forty Award; Black Enterprise 40 Under Forty Award; and the Vyne Weekly’s “Top 10 Women to Watch”; “Big Time Operator” Award; Two Year Winner of the New York Enterprise Reporter Small Business Award; Entrepreneur of the Year in Consulting and Business Services; Best Buddies “Women With a Mission” International Award; Stiletto Woman Business Award; the Brooklyn International Trade Development Center’s International Women’s Entrepreneurial Award; and the National Minority Business Council’s Global Outstanding Business Award. In addition, an MBA magazine featured her Firm in a consulting case. She is also a prestigious judge for the Stevie International Business Awards.
Besides these awards, the company’s client results have been highlighted in media channels, including the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and Reuters.
Mrs. Nall currently serves on the Board of the Amobi Okoye Foundation and the Marketing Advisory Committee for The University of California, Irvine. Under the administration of President Barack Obama, Mrs. Nall was appointed to The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee. During her term, she was responsible for developing some of the nation’s export policies.
In addition to her own professional commitments, Mrs. Nall mentors seven small businesses to help them develop strategies to establish and grow their companies. Many of them have moved from home-based businesses to having their own offices and have seen revenue and profit growth increase, on average, twenty-percent (20%). In an effort to mold young entrepreneurs who may otherwise not have these opportunities afforded to them, Mrs. Nall began an internship program at THE LEADING NICHE that employs students in underserved communities and provides on-the-job training, which includes analytics and market research. Many of these interns have graduated from the program and moved on to part-time and full-time jobs that have advanced their careers.
Prior to founding THE LEADING NICHE, Ms. Nall was a Senior Associate with Booz & Company (formerly Booz Allen Hamilton). While at Booz & Company, Mrs. Nall led engagements in industries such as healthcare, retail, telecommunications, and government in the United States and Canada. Mrs. Nall’s work focused on assisting senior clients with corporate strategy, growth strategy, mergers/acquisitions, as well as restructuring and market and pricing strategies.
Mrs. Nall holds an MBA from The Harvard Business School in Boston, MA. She earned a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from The Georgia Institute of Technology and a BBA from Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
She and her husband, Mr. Clement Ezeanii, reside in Harlem, New York. They love to travel and have challenged themselves to visit every state in the U.S.!
