Meet our Community Members

This week, we’re spotlighting Nigel Rosemin, a TechWalk community member based in NYC and seasoned technology leader who blends strategic thinking with a people-first approach to deliver high-impact results. With over 15 years of experience driving IT, infrastructure, and business systems initiatives, Nigel has led transformative work across SaaS operations, cybersecurity, compliance, and enterprise AI adoption.

Nigel leads with empathy and a clear bias for action. His leadership philosophy is grounded in the belief that people thrive when they feel seen, supported, and challenged to grow. Whether modernizing platforms, integrating tools like Workday, Salesforce, Netsuite, Coupa, and Okta, or guiding AI vendor selection and implementation, Nigel excels at turning complexity into clarity, bridging the gap between business vision and technical execution.

He is especially passionate about how emerging technologies like generative AI can reshape IT operations and business workflows, and he has recently led cross-functional efforts to implement secure, scalable AI solutions with strong governance frameworks.

Beyond work, Nigel is a former basketball player and new (but committed) golfer. He brings the same discipline, patience, and team mindset to the course that he is known for in the boardroom. He is also a proud coordinator of TechWalk, where he is helping redesign the website and support the growth of a thriving, grassroots community of technologists. For Nigel, TechWalk is more than a meetup, it is a movement he is proud to walk with.

Now exploring new leadership opportunities, Nigel is drawn to roles where he can build culture, drive innovation, and empower teams to do their best work.

Poll of the Week

In a recent piece for Unite.AI, Tanya Privé of Silicon Foundry, an NYC-based innovation advisory firm, made a point that stuck with me: AI isn’t replacing human connection, it’s helping us do it better. Her team is using a mix of in-house tools like The Parsinator along with 3rd party software, Happenstance to surface warm intros, spot patterns in deal flow, and show up at just the right time.

It got me thinking about the limits of our own networks. Even with smart tools, we all have a point where the follow-ups slip, names blur, and connections fade. A widely accepted sociological theory called Dunbar’s Number says that limit is around 150 people. But is that true for you?

As someone building TechWalk to make meaningful relationships easier, not just bigger, I’d love to hear your take.

How many relationships can you actually keep up with? Take a moment to answer the poll below. I’ll share the results (and a few thoughts):
