Nicole Browning, Director of Marketing, Communications & Community Outreach

An alumna of Cornell University and former member of the US National Rowing Team (she won a silver medal in the Women's 8+ event at the 2006 World Cup), Nicole joined the Wimmer Solutions team in 2008.

Today, she's responsible for Wimmer's Marketing, Corporate Communications and Community Outreach Programs. Nicole provides marketing support to our internal organizations, oversees all company communication channels, and guides research to support data-driven decision making in both areas. She has also taken the lead in building Wimmer Solutions' innovative Community Engagement Program from the ground up, working with partners toward impactful solutions to community needs, and developing program structure to connect employees with meaningful giving and volunteerism opportunities. Nicole is also Wimmer's representative on the Steering Committee for the Corporate Volunteer Council of Puget Sound.

In her own community, Nicole is an avid volunteer and was recently named to the Board of Directors for Pride Foundation, which connects and strengthens Northwest organizations, leaders, and students who are creating LGBTQ equality. She also serves on the Board for Camp Ten Trees, an engaging youth summer camp for LGBTQ communities and their allies that works to promote social justice; and on the Steering Committee and is the Marketing Committee Co-Chair for Out in Front, which works to train the next generation of LGBTQ community leaders.

In her off time, Nicole can be found hitting the trails (on foot) or the roads (on wheels with the Husky Cycling Club), navigating Seattle's waterways in the double scull with her wife Anne, or improving her stand-up paddleboard technique on the surf breaks of Maui. When she's not working or working up a sweat, you can catch Nicole cruising the freeways in her '82 Fiat Spider, hanging with felines Karl and Leon, or brunoising her way through her other passion: experimental cooking.
