Nick Wang is the Executive HR Consultant & Advisor (Head of Talent) at Cascade Analytics. His practice focuses on talent strategy, workforce planning, team building, and the operating systems behind hiring at scale. He advises the founding team on how Cascade attracts, selects, and grows its people. Nick is a builder by temperament, and he treats hiring and team building as a data problem as much as a people one.

Nick brings more than 15 years of HR and talent acquisition leadership across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups, with global scope across North America, EMEA, and APAC. His experience includes Empower Pharmacy, Boston Scientific, Abbott Rapid Diagnostics, Hallmark Cards, and Fapon Life Sciences. At Fapon he was the first HR and talent hire for its U.S. R&D entities and built the function from the ground up as Global Corporate Talent Acquisition Leader for North America and EMEA.

As Head of Talent at Cascade Analytics, Nick works with the founding team to build a hiring model that matches the firm’s standards: evidence-based, rigorous, and welcoming to economists, researchers, and data scientists from various backgrounds. He brings the same discipline Cascade applies to client work, using data to decide where talent comes from, how it is evaluated, and why people stay. He has led an enterprise Greenhouse ATS implementation from steering committee through go-live, built a recruiting analytics architecture in Power BI from scratch, and deployed three production GPT agents to support recruiting teams.

Nick is based in Houston, Texas, and is bilingual in English and Mandarin. That fluency shaped his work leading cross-border teams for a China-headquartered organization. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Management from DeVry University and is certified in Strategic Workforce Planning by the Human Capital Institute (HCI).
