Founder & Managing Director

Nicole Patterson has over 20 years of experience as an HR professional and consultant, working across many domains, including learning & development, staffing, benefits, analytics, operations, compliance and as an HR generalist. Her consulting experience spans industries: from technology to medicine, from non-profits to start-ups to government contractors, and from small businesses to large Fortune 100 global corporations.  Nicole spent nearly 15 years at Google, most recently as a leader in Google’s People Development [Learning & Development] organization. In addition to Nicole’s professional experiences as a Google business leader and manager, she also developed and coached Googlers working for her and across the company.  

​

In January 2020, Nicole founded Koru Leadership, where she uses her passion to support people as they learn, grow and adapt to change--both professionally and personally. Nicole’s focus at Koru is twofold: 

1) Partnering with leaders and managers as they run their businesses, lead their teams and create the culture where people learn, grow and perform their best. 

2) Working with individuals growing through transition--whether that is challenges in their current role, new professional opportunities, or life changes outside of work.

​

After spending 20 years in Silicon Valley, Nicole moved to Boise, ID in August 2017. She is a certified coach by the Hudson Institute of Coaching and the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She is also on the Board for the Idaho Women's Charitable Foundation. Nicole and her husband, Matt, a seasoned entrepreneur, lead an active family of three children, two cats and one dog...and they learn something new each day.
