Nick Himo

Business Model Coach

Imperial College London

Every summer, I run a programme of innovation workshops for 1,000+ student entrepreneurs from all over the world as part of Imperial College's Global Challenge Lab.

Innovation Coach

Strategyzer

Our purpose is to unlock millions of people’s potential to create value for themselves, organizations and society. We succeed when people find the clarity to drive healthy growth and build invincible companies worldwide. To make this happen, we design the global standard methodology for business strategy and platform for solving universal business challenges. We shift mindsets to transform strategic innovation, organization, and culture.

As an innovation coach at Strategyzer, I help large multinational organizations create new business models that generate value and growth. I use Strategyzer’s tools, methodology and tech platform to guide teams through the innovation process, from ideation to validation. I work with clients on various innovation initiatives, such as venture building, innovation incubators and accelerators and training. I also help them measure the impact of their innovation investment, using data and evidence to make better decisions. I help teams save time and money on projects that don’t have potential, and scale up the ones that do. I help teams design and test value propositions and business models that solve customer problems and create competitive advantage.

Strategyzer Coach

As host of Strategyzer webinars, I have the privilege of facilitating engaging and insightful conversations with some of the world’s leading experts on corporate innovation. We explore topics such as business model design, innovation culture, leadership and strategy with guests like Hubert Joly (Former CEO of Best Buy) and Garry Ridge (former CEO of WD40). I work alongside Alex Osterwalder, the inventor of the Business Model Canvas and a best-selling author, and Tendayi Viki, an award-winning author and innovation consultant. My role is to ensure that our webinars are interactive, fast-paced, informative and fun and that our audience gets the most value out of them. I enjoy connecting with our community of innovators and learning from their experiences and challenges. You can watch recordings of previous webinars by clicking the links below.

Host of Strategyzer Webinars

As a content creator at Strategyzer, I am responsible for producing high-quality and engaging video content for our online academy and our social media channels. I plan, shoot, edit and post videos that showcase our products, services and thought leadership in the field of corporate innovation. I have helped grow our online community to over 200,000 followers across all platforms. I also write blogs and design webinars that provide valuable insights and tips for our audience. Additionally, I create content for our live virtual masterclasses led by Alex Osterwalder, the inventor of the Business Model Canvas and a best-selling author. My role is to deliver compelling and educational content that helps our customers and prospects learn and apply the tools and methods of Strategyzer.

Innovation Consultant & Trainer

Having worked with innovation leaders like Alex Osterwalder and Tendayi Viki, and global brands including Google, American Express, LEGO, Microsoft, and Novo Nordisk, I know what it takes to turn a good idea into a great business.

When Imperial College London runs their Global Challenge Lab, an accelerator with thousands of founders worldwide, they bring me in to lead every workshop.

Why? Because I help get results fast.

"Nick’s facilitation brought more clarity, speed, and impact than anything I saw in 25 years at Microsoft."
- Mike Kropp, Ex-Microsoft Leader / CEO, Iridius

But when most founders come to me, they’re stuck.
They feel frustrated because they’ve already tried everything:

→ Reading the Lean Startup
→ Filling out all the free Miro templates
→ Watching The Futur or Alex Hormozi on YouTube
→ Asking ChatGPT to rewrite their landing page copy
→ Hiring expensive Facebook ad agencies
→ Joining masterminds, Skool, or Whop

And still… they don’t have clear answers.

No one’s challenged their assumptions.

That’s where I help.

We start with a structured conversation I call Innovation Therapy. It's designed to quickly surface your riskiest assumptions, hidden challenges, and growth opportunities.

Together, we’ll identify:

→ Who your real customer is
→ What they’re actually willing to pay for
→ How to position your product so it sells
→ The smartest path to profitable growth

You’ll walk away with:

✔ Clear strategy, grounded in evidence
✔ Stories that resonate with customers, teams, and investors
✔ A shared language your team can align around
✔ The right experiments to reduce risk and speed up traction
✔ Confidence in what to build, sell, and scale

And we do it all using Strategyzer’s global-standard methodology (including The Business Model Canvas and The Value Proposition Canvas) the same tools used by the top companies.

“Nick is a world-class facilitator. He is also an expert in Strategyzer’s methodology. I enjoy working with him, and I’m confident you will too.”
— Alex Osterwalder, Creator of the Business Model Canvas

Whether you’re validating an MVP, scaling a product, or rethinking your direction, 
I’ll help you move forward with confidence.
