Nicole Topping is a product and marketing leader at Abilitie, where her team designs narrative-rich business simulations and immersive case experiences that challenge leaders to think, decide, and adapt in real time.

With more than two decades of experience spanning educational technology, instructional design, and cognitive psychology, Nicole has worked across academic institutions, private corporations, military environments, and previously in leadership development at McKinsey. She brings a deep respect for rigorous thinking and an equally strong belief that learning should be active, social, and grounded in real decisions.

A technologist at heart with roots in psychology and education, Nicole is driven by one question: how do we design learning experiences that don’t just inform, but transform?
