Feb 02, 2015 - Nigel Brooks, ADG-elect for 5510, gave us an overview of his personal history, ending with his current organization, TechKnowPartners in Tempe. He began in Enfield as a management consultant and at age 25 migrated to the USA to work with Anderson Consulting. He became a partner there and then moved to Booze Allen where his major client was American Express. He later joined American Express as a Sr. VP for Technology Strategy in Arizona. He left them and founded his own Gourmet Coffee Business which he sold after 14 years. He moved to San Francisco and became active in Rotary, becoming co-chair of "Rotary means Business". In 2011 her returned to Phoenix and has been instrumental in "merging" 3 clubs into one.  He is currently working with the city of Tempe on a major capital project which will help further Rotary's image in the community.  We look forward to having him as our Assistant District Governor this coming year.
