Nicki Scott

Co-Founder, Managing Partner

Nicki is a highly skilled professional, equipped with an unrelenting attention to detail and a wealth of industry knowledge. While that description could easily suit an AI chatbot these days, Nicki’s empathy, sense of humor, and deep passion for supporting others serve as clear identifiers of her humanity. Nicki loves to laugh almost as much as she loves growth mindset and entrepreneurial podcasts, and she is always very eager to share both with anyone that expresses an interest.

As Uplvl co-founder and partner, Nicki’s responsibilities include, regulatory and policy analysis, compliance training and planning, property management system (PMS) configuration assessments, subsidy investigation and recovery, and local agency collaboration. She also serves as primary growth coach for our internal team members that have identified interests in and/or goals tied to personal development. Before Uplvl, Nicki served in a variety of property management and IT roles, on both the owner/manager and vendor support service sides of the industry. Her unique blend of affordable housing compliance, training, and PMS support skills have proven valuable regardless of what team or department she serves on, as evidenced by the fact that her most recent employer (Maloney Properties) remains one of our longest-tenured clients to this day.

Nicki fully embodies the team’s commitment to elevating one another by giving our best every day and will always do whatever it takes when problem solving for herself or others. Though she aspires to identify opportunities and leverage creative ways to help move the industry forward, Nicki remains charmingly humble in all that she endeavors and is generous to a fault with her time. When her home office light is off, you’d be sure to find Nicki working out, running her two dogs, Emma and Cosmo, traveling with her husband Hugh, and two kids, Audrey and Caleb, podcasting, or reading.
