Nicole Lekawa

Nicole Lekawa serves as Senior Account Executive at Fidium, where she has worked for the past six months. With more than 15 years in telecommunications, she previously spent 12 years at Comcast before taking time in security cameras, access control, and audiovisual sales, and she returned to telecom because she missed the industry. Lekawa specializes in networking and relationship building, often conducting technology audits to help customers right-size their fiber and cloud solutions while prioritizing helpful connections over direct sales. She holds a college education that was interrupted six classes short of graduation due to an accident and draws most of her knowledge from the School of Hard Knocks and on-the-job training. Lekawa belongs to the Brave Women Project, Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber, and Westmoreland County Community Chamber. She volunteers with the Children's Miracle Network and Girl Scouts, and she attributes her success to her motivation to overachieve, her ability to work independently, and her desire to set a positive example for her two children. She values family above all and advises young women entering the field to be persistent, showcase their personality, sell their personal brand, and seek a mentor.
