By: Christa Curtis June 16, 2017 18 2021

You’ve heard it often – Cook wouldn’t be Cook without the people who work here. People are key to making the company what it is today and transforming us into the modern company that we will become. To help support all of you in your Cook pathway, Nicky James has taken a new leadership role in the area of Human Resources and Talent Development for Cook Group. She will support all Cook companies in her new role. Read the memo about HR structure changes, if you missed it in early June.

Nicky has been with Cook since 1998, when she started in sales management. Since then, she has led the Urology strategic business unit, the global sales team in Peripheral Intervention, and most recently the Aortic Intervention strategic business unit.

  1. Hello Nicky. I’ve been meaning to send you an email to introduce myself but since seeing this video I feel more motivated (and less intimidated!). Jerry French spoke very highly of you and suggested I contact you as we seem to have flipped places, I’m an American that moved to the UK three years ago!

  2. I don’t know if you remember we met years ago at Cook Biotech. I’m glad you are at the helm of HR globally. Best wishes! Mary

  3. How inspiring to see your career pathway in Cook Nicki, I joined Cook In the UK in 2000 and remember some fun social times with you as our paths crossed, before you headed off to the States!
    I think you’re perfectly placed to support and develop our talented employees – as you’ve made the most of opportunities that have come your way, so you can lead by example!
    All the best and I hope to see you again soon Zoe
