Nicole Champagne is an accomplished business leader, communicator, and philanthropic strategist with more than two decades of experience at the intersection of business and service. As CEO of CCD Worldwide, she has spent nearly two decades building the company into a multi-channel enterprise spanning online retail, wholesale, logistics, and fulfillment – powered by a workforce built on the excellence of U.S. military veterans.

Nicole’s commitment to people extends well beyond the boardroom. Earlier in her career, as a Development Officer at SickKids Foundation, she worked alongside a talented team on multimillion-dollar fundraising campaigns. She has since raised funds for organizations including the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Honor Flight. Today, her advocacy centers on the crisis of veteran suicide, the fight against human trafficking, and the fentanyl epidemic – work she supports as a passionate advocate, connector, and committed supporter of those who serve.

A longstanding commitment to wellness and physical fitness has shaped both her leadership style and the culture of her teams, and it deepens her focus on the physical and mental well-being at the heart of her advocacy. Known for her sharp intelligence, relentless work ethic, and exceptional ability to connect with people, Nicole brings professionalism, integrity, and personality to every mission she supports. Colleagues describe her as resilient, dependable, and persuasive, with a quick wit that keeps the hard work from ever feeling dull.

Whether as CEO, board chair, donor, or advocate, Nicole has kept one throughline constant: building organizations – for-profit and nonprofit alike – that put people first.
