Your
Expert Empires
Team
If there’s one thing every single one of our clients will have in common, it’s their opinion on the Expert Empires team. World Class!
SAY HI…
This is not a fluke. We work seriously hard in finding people who fit perfectly into this dynamic and daring team. Our culture is is strong and we’re all hyper-focussed on the same values and goals, but our skills, personalities and qualities are worlds apart.
NICK JAMES
FOUNDER & CEO
Daring to the extreme, a great leader and a highly effective relationship builder.
Nick is renowned for his strategic business mind and ability to sell and market basically anything to anyone.
Loves sport, especially Aston Villa FC and golf, both of which are poorer than he’d like to admit.
MATT ELWELL
Co-founder of the Elite Closing Academy and Mastermind Sales Trainer
Without doubt the best closer to walk planet earth, and an incredibly entertaining human being.
Matt has spent his entire career in sales, selling on the shop floor, over the phone, and negotiating multimillion-pound property deals.
Matt loves animals and is a keen hedgehog enthusiast.
Other than his ‘computer-phone’, Matt is incapable of using any kind of technology!
jack duggan
head of sales & closing
Lovingly known as ‘Beluga Whale’, former semi-pro footballer Jack heads up the sales team (pun intended) and is a highly trained Elite Closer.
Jack manages and trains the sales team daily and oversees all sales and closing operations.
(That’s when he’s not on holiday…which isn’t very often).
He’s also resident office scrounger…so hide your snacks!
Natalie deegan
head of client experience
Natalie’s job is to ensure that every single client here at Expert Empires has a world-class experience.
Her strengths lie in VIP events, brand collaboration and working as a team, which is exactly why she heads up our amazing client experience team.
Before joining EE, Natalie spent her previous career travelling the world dressed as a rabbit…and she’s got some pretty cool ‘tails’ to tell about it too.
Claire Cotton
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Claire manages Nick’s life, which frees him up to do what he does best! (i.e. NOTHING related to admin work!)
Interestingly, Claire’s career started in an ice cream factory and took her into primary & secondary schools and a University before she found herself at EE.
Outside of work, you’ll find Claire planning for her next big trip to the happiest place in the world – Disney World! She’s just hoping to bump into Justin Bieber again like she did the first time she went…
shari teigman
mastermind coach
Proud mama of 2, self-proclaimed dancing queen and overfeeder of people, Shari is the go-to person for all things mindset and strategy for our clients.
Her Maverick perspectives help our Masterminders to amp up their strengths and reframe their weaknesses for optimal results in both business and life.
She’s our resident New Yorker and brings her zest for life over to the UK with pride.
Matt selby
sales executive
Matt (we call him “Muscles”) has quickly become an invaluable member of the Sales Team, closing qualified leads both over the phone and face to face.
During his time at Expert Empires, Matt’s passion for personal development has led to him becoming a coach for many of our clients.
He’s also a former professional ice-hockey player, and there’s really only one word to describe him: Winner.
amelia ashford
client experience
Amelia is one of the key voices of Expert Empires, and she makes sure that all of our 6 & 7-figure clients know what’s happening at every moment.
Never far from her phone, her main priorities are calling you to onboard you, remind you of important dates, and making sure you’ve got everything you need.
She’s a self-proclaimed ‘golf widow’ and is known to have a liking for Prosecco.
Dylan Campbell
client experience
Dylan looks after our 100K Mastermind, and is the one-stop shop for all key dates, content and news regarding this.
He loves to connect with people about what they’re passionate about, no matter how niche it might be!
As a keen pub quizzer, Dylan strives to know a little something about everything (enough to chat about a range of topics for hours).
jossiah pinto-day
Media Buyer
One of the nicest guys you’ll meet, Jossiah is a true server, who takes care of Expert Empires’ community by getting them the right training and support for their business.
He’s determined and tenacious when it comes to getting results.
Don’t let looks deceive you though; he has a background in breakdance and capoeira, and even made a cheeky appearance in a music video (don’t ask).
amber fallon
systems & processes expert
In a league of her own, Amber ensures that all systems are automated, and all forms of technology are working harmoniously together.
She is nothing short of an EXPERT when it comes to having bulletproof systems in place. Simply put, when she speaks, the rest of us listen.
Amber is one of the many nature-lovers of the team, and is quite literally a magnet to all animals!
