Nathan Hall is the Founder and CEO of Culture Check, an award-winning learning
and developing social enterprise that empowers individuals and organizations to
address racial inequity in the workplace.
As a seasoned business executive and leader, culture has been a central pillar of his
strategies in building teams and driving results. As a Black man, Nathan has felt the
hurt, discomfort and discrediting associated with being an outsider forced to
assimilate in order to succeed. The founding of Culture Check was the culmination of
his passions, his experiences, his education and his identity.
Nathan is also the CEO of Simple Story, a video marketing agency that he took over
when it was facing closure. With piling debts, a soured reputation, and a toxic work
culture, he was able to keep the doors open long enough to implement significant
changes. Since then, Simple Story has seen tremendous success, has won multiple
awards, and is beloved by both staff and clientele. Nathan attributes their success to
the culture.
Powered by stories, Nathan utilizes his position to amplify the voices of the
marginalized and excluded within organizations and communities. It has been said
that his ability to simplify complex issues and put audiences at ease when discussing
such uncomfortable topics has been his secret weapon.
Nathan is equipped with an Honours degree in Sociology, a Masters in Management
and an MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics and Strategy. Paired with his
experiences of being “the only one”, or “one of a few” in most of the offices and
boardrooms he finds himself in, Nathan has a rich wealth of knowledge at the
intersection of inclusion and business.
