It may sound cliche, but we all know that a company is only as good as its' people.
So in order for you to get to know us a little better, from the inside out, I am going to tell you about the inner core of the Nigro Firm. I am going to tell you a little about Natalie Nigro our President. And not the kind of stuff you typically see in a resume or a company portfolio, I am going to tell you a little about her, what she likes and dislikes and what it is like to meet her.
First Meeting
When I first met Natalie Nigro, I was coming in to talk to her because I heard from a friend that they were looking for someone to help out in the office. I think I actually met Natalie and Shirley, her mother and partner, on a Saturday afternoon, to accommodate my work schedule at the time. My first impression was that she was cheery, personable and curious about me, how I worked and how I thought. It turned out that I did not fit the position she was looking for, but she thought she could fit me into the company in a different capacity. She asked me when I could start and I said, "Right now." And she took me up on it. Our first project, believe it or not, was to install an office corner desk. A few seconds into the project I already figured out how Natalie and Shirley work together, how their different talents and strengths could be focused into a single project. Shirley was working the tools and lying under the desk taking care of the "infrastructure" so to speak and Natalie had the level out ensuring "quality control." As soon as I saw Natalie pull the level out and REALLY use it, I knew what kind of lady I was going to be working with.

Personality Traits
Natalie is a dynamic and intelligent woman, but here are a few of the highlights:
- She is a list maker and actually completes her tasks.
- She is a researcher... she never starts a new endeavor without knowing what she is getting into.
- She has a big brain... she can understand complex topics, mathematics, physics and tedious procedures.
- She rarely gets angry, but if she does, she has a really good reason.
- She is a good communicator and knows how to handle delicate or stressful topics without stressing out who she is talking to.
- She is extremely flexible, except when it comes to deadlines.
- She is always willing to lend a helping hand, which is why she has to get out of the office from time to time, otherwise she would never stop helping reviewers.
Things she likes (not work related):
- World of Warcraft (WOW)... she would play all night if she could.
- Beagles and cute kitties or any stray that needs a home.
- Raw, vegan, vegetarian and organic food, though if she has to cook, pizza delivered is good enough.
- Collectible swords, shields and medieval weapons... she even has a spear in her office.
- American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.
- Dog training and organic pet diets... she makes the beagles' dog food every day, no store bought bags of dog food for them.
Things she does not like (not work related):
- Yard work, mowing lawns or snow removal... if on her own she would have a condo.
- Heavy metal or hard rock and roll... Barbra Streisand and Abba suit her fine.
- Spicy food... mild is her version of "hot and spicy."
- Uncomfortable clothes... no high heels or business dress for her, unless she absolutely must.
- Mornings... though she does often work in the early hours of the morning, she would rather work at the crack of noon.
Well, now you know a little about Natalie Nigro. So next time you call her up to plan a coordination review you can ask her how the beagles are and how late she stayed up the night before playing WOW.
