Background

About Nikole Dalton

With over 15 years of dynamic leadership in finance, fashion and business, my interests are deeply rooted in broadening access to capital for California's underserved and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the financial resources they need to prosper. As the fourth-largest economy in the world, California is rich with opportunities across a diverse array of industries. I believe that cultivating strong relationships among the state’s varied sectors is key to driving continued success and fostering long-term growth. As the Senior Vice President of NorCal FDC, I spearhead our strategic efforts to enhance access to crucial funding for small businesses, fostering sustainable growth and economic development across our communities. Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in driving operational excellence and implementing strong financial strategies that have substantially increased organizational efficiency at NorCal FDC. My leadership has been crucial in advancing our digital transformation, significantly enhancing our capability to deliver services and scale our impact. Beyond financial leadership, I serve as the Founder and Creative Director of wearNIKI, a globally acclaimed brand dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable fashion that inspires and empowers modern women. My designs have received international recognition, gracing the runways at Paris Fashion Week and appearing in prestigious publications like Vogue and Vanity Fair. I am always looking to connect with peers and industry leaders to exchange ideas and explore innovative solutions that further our mission and enhance the financial health of communities we proudly serve.
