Nick Wealthall is an expert in unlocking the commercial potential for leaders and teams, transforming attitudes and behaviours by reframing mindsets, building resilience, and driving growth ideas into action. His unique professional poker and TV presentation background informs his dynamic approach to projects and talks.
After graduating from Cambridge, Nick began his career in sales, quickly rising through the ranks before being headhunted to work with high-net-worth clients in wealth management. During this time, his passion for poker grew, and he moved to Las Vegas to play professionally, sharpening decision-making skills that would later define his business approach. Returning to England, Nick pursued broadcasting, working as a comedy writer and presenter on shows like "8 Out of 10 Cats" and "Have I Got News For You". He also hosted and commented on major Sky and Channel 4 poker events.
Nick returned to sales and training, launching an online poker training business with less than £1,000. Over nine years, he grew Transform My Poker into the UK’s leading poker training company, with thousands of customers across 60 countries and sales exceeding £2 million.
Now, Nick focuses on helping corporates and SMEs unlock their commercial potential through consultancy and development programs, sharing the lessons he's learned in poker, business, and working with top clients. His mission is to help others see commercial growth as a rewarding challenge, not an intimidating task.
