In this role, Nichols will lead a bold evolution of FCA's communications - reimagining how the association connects, tells its story, and activates the collective power of its membership across the fragrance industry and beyond. The appointment builds on FCA's reputation as a forward-looking association known for setting the pace rather than following it.
Nichols brings a dynamic blend of strategic vision and executional excellence, with deep experience in executive and corporate communications within the trade association arena.
