Dean Nicolls

Vice President, Marketing

With more than 20 years of marketing experience, Dean Nicolls has a breadth of experience in demand generation, branding, product management, marketing analytics and channel marketing. In his post at LiveOffice, he is responsible for leading marketing initiatives, increasing brand awareness, and driving business strategy for the company's hosted software solutions. In addition to overseeing direct marketing, public relations, analyst relations, channel marketing and website analytics, Dean also supports the overall market, product and channel objectives.

Prior to joining LiveOffice, Dean spent five years at Microsoft, where he was responsible for direct marketing and product management for a variety of SMB products and services. He also gained extensive marketing experience with Starbucks, N2H2 (acquired by Secure Computing) and a Seattle-based value-added retailer (VAR). Dean holds a Bachelor of Science from Pepperdine University and an MBA from the University of Washington.

Outside the office, Dean enjoys spending time with his family (wife and two rambunctious boys), ocean swimming, water polo and running with his best friend, Murphy, a flat-coated retriever. A longtime resident of Seattle, Dean misses the grey, but is slowly getting used to his new, ultra-sunny Southern California locale.
