Background

About Nicholas Baez

As a project management professional with a diverse background in financial operations, strategic planning, and cross-functional leadership, I bring a unique set of experiences to every role I undertake. My career began as a tennis player living in Barcelona, Spain and recruitment to play as a D1 player for Pepperdine's Men's Tennis. I developed resilience, discipline, and the ability to adapt in high-pressure environments on that journey. These traits have been integral to my success in managing high-impact projects, leading teams, and driving both financial and operational growth. Currently, I help manage over $550M in assets at LPL Financial, overseeing structured product portfolio operations and developing data-driven strategies to optimize financial performance. My international upbringing and cross-cultural exposure enable me to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and navigate complex projects globally. Whether creating strategic roadmaps or implementing key performance indicators (KPIs) to guide decision-making, I am driven by the desire to deliver impactful business outcomes. My passion lies in combining strategic vision with actionable plans to achieve measurable success. I’m always open to connecting with professionals who share a commitment to innovation, leadership, and growth.
