Nick is our Rocket Scientist and all-things Project Finance. In 1995, Nick transitioned from a post-graduate Theoretical Astrophysics research role in London to join Ernst & Young at the forefront of financial modelling. He was subsequently instrumental in shaping and advancing the application of this revolutionary tool in project finance lending analysis over the following two decades.
As the field evolved, Nick pioneered the principles of Best Practice, ensuring error minimisation and stakeholder confidence. Over his career, Nick has built and divested one of the world’s largest independently-owned modelling consultancies and served as an investment banker specialising in power, infrastructure, and natural resources. He didn’t invent Financial Modelling but was in the Delivery Room with gloves on.
In 2018, he founded Vector to make available Principal-Delivered modelling and training and is now renowned for tackling some of the most complex challenges in the market. No grads, no overheads……pure hard-core expertise delivered with passion.
Outside of Vector, Nick is also an investor in projects throughout Asia Pacific and splits his time between a city home in Sydney and his coastal farm in Berry NSW – spending time on rescue animals, racing horses, dogs, falling off adventure motorcycles, new energy solutions, cooking, high-end audio and growing amazing vegetables! Ask Nick about anything to do with Astrophysics and Maths – he’s our maths nerd.
Ben is our Super-Computer, blending solution design, system architecture, and financial mathematics into financial modelling like no one else. Ben Buckland has worked alongside Nick since 2010, contributing his expertise to technical ventures beyond financial modelling and joining the Vector adventure in 2018.
Ben’s background in programmatic solutions and business mapping brings a critical perspective to the team, enhancing our ability to tackle even the most multi-dimensional challenges. His software architect DNA allows us to solve issues in an elegant way that others haven’t even imagined! Ben’s incredible attention to detail and focus on prioritising the user experience ensures our models are both effective and intuitive.
