Nick Kreider

Nick’s expertise lies in his ability to quickly understand his clients’ business issues and to partner with them to find solutions through optimal research programs. His strategic mind and never-ending curiosity has led him toward advising some of the largest global clients for LRW, a Material Company. Nick also spearheads LRW’s Social Impact practice, leveraging the company’s capabilities to advise non-profit organizations, as well as consulting with traditional clients to meet the demands of today’s socially conscious consumers.

Prior to joining LRW, a Material Company, in 2008, Nick worked in the humanitarian aid and development sector and has extensive experience in disaster recovery focusing on economic development through the creation and management of livelihood programs. In this capacity he has worked domestically and in Sri Lanka, Australia, Haiti, Kenya, India, Nepal, Ecuador and Thailand. He holds a B.S. in business and economics from the University of Delaware and an MBA with a concentration in international business from Bond University in Australia.

Nick is from central Pennsylvania, where he grew up working his family’s dairy farm, where he developed his strong work ethic. He continues volunteering his time to support a number of humanitarian causes across the globe. But when he’s home in Southern California, you’re likely to find him relaxing on the beach or hiking up in the mountains.
