Nick Roumonada

Stakeholder Engagement Manager, Prosthetics

In his role as the Stakeholder Engagement Manager, Nick supports the Prosthetics Team by working with and understanding better the needs of end-users and Allied Health partners. Being front and centre with these two major stakeholder groups, Nick’s goal is to understand the pains, gains and challenges each stakeholder group experiences with the aim of creating initiatives, programs, and innovative deliverables to help create value utilizing the Össur brand and values.

As an end user himself, Nick has been a part of supporting and inspiring Össur’s patient population for a number of years both personally and professionally. With a degree in business from The New School University, Nick’s experience has been in the for and non-profit sectors, with a focus on sales, marketing, communication and management. In his experience as the Business Development Manager for the US based non-profit, Challenged Athletes Foundation, Nick was a part of not only creating and implementing fundraising opportunities, but he also worked with patients side by side as a mobility coach – encouraging patients and their rehabilitation through sport. Similarly, in his most recent Senior Business Development role at Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics, Nick not only drove business through collaboration with key partners in the healthcare community, but he again sat front and centre with patients as peer support – helping patients and their families to better navigate their limb loss journey.

Nick is thrilled to be here in Australia, with his wife and two young children, and can’t wait to continue his passionate work – always looking to help deliver uncompromised outcomes and a life without limitations.
