Nathan Brinker, Executive Vice President, Sales & Client Engagement, Bristol Global Mobility

Why should this person win Global Mobility Professional of the Year?

As Bristol’s lead executive over both account management and global business development, Nathan Brinker, Executive Vice President, Sales & Client Engagement (GMS-T), is charged with the responsibility for new account growth as well as ongoing development and retention of our existing corporate client relationships. In this role, Nathan has distinguished himself as he and his teams have consistently produced top-tier client satisfaction and retention results while routinely attracting a steady stream of new business. As a result, Nathan has played a significant role in the growth and success of Bristol over the past many years. What makes Nathan’s contribution particularly meaningful in this position was that it was the first time in Bristol’s history that one individual was responsible for both functions of the business, making the processes he’s streamlined, the efficiencies we’ve gained, and the improvements driven for both the client and customer experience all the more undeniably thanks to Nathan’s unique perspective and business acumen. As a member of the executive team, Nathan has proven to be a fearless innovator, willing to explore the “what’s possible” specific to new processes, products, systems, and strategies. In 2021, Bristol experienced historic client satisfaction results and financial performance due in very large part to the efforts of Nathan and his account management and business development teams. Recognizing that Nathan’s consistent record of achievement has been a cornerstone to his approach to business, he was elected to Bristol’s Board of Directors in 2021. Nathan naturally embodies the Bristol culture and mission of “Connecting with, versus Controlling People”℠ in his approach to all of his relationships. His tremendous ability to connect with those in our industry earned him recognition as part of Benivo’s The Global Mobility Top 100: The Most Admired Service Providers of 2021 elections powered by the wisdom of the crowd. We want to recognize and put the focus on Nathan because he is so often spending his time focusing on others—whether that’s in his taking care and mentoring of his many cross-functional team members, listening to his clients, or generally looking out for others as he does through his involvement in charities and causes like Move for Hunger, Phoenix Children's Hospital, and the Cancer Support Community Arizona (CSCAZ). Nathan’s end goal is to serve others, and he believes that the rest takes care of itself. We’d now care to recognize Nathan Brinker for his 30 years of making our industry a better one with this award.

Vivi Cahyadi Himmel, Co-founder & CEO, AltoVita

Why should this person win Global Mobility Professional of the Year?

Vivi Cahyadi Himmel is the CEO and Co-Founder of AltoVita, the global corporate housing platform empowering global talent mobility at scale. Vivi has lived and worked in 11 cities across Europe, Asia, Australia and the US. These experiences have shaped her outstanding cultural awareness and acumen in international business. She launched AltoVita with COO Karolina Saviova in January 2018 to disrupt legacy practices and pioneer a technology-first solution paired with duty of care. Vivi is passionate about making a tangible difference in the short-term rentals industry. Vivi pioneered AltoVita’s proprietary technologies, including its Business to Employee (B2E) platform, and orchestrates AltoVita’s R&D and agile product development process to drive smart distribution technology adoption. Because she is client-obsessed and ensures the AltoVita platform is built to serve the unique needs of each client and policy, with focus on the evolving needs of both corporate clients and relocating employees (including solutions for work from home, work from anywhere, travelling with pets, property sustainability information, and more) AltoVita’s customer base has grown 525% year on year. Clients include the US Federal Agency and some of the world’s leading consumer brands (Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Google, Shopify, Wayfair, and more) as well as leading Relocation Management Companies, commonly known as “RMCs” (Sirva, Cartus, Aires, WHR Group, NEI Relocation, and more). As an example of Vivi’s drive to solve the unique challenges faced by AltoVita clients, she worked closely with our tech team to create a user-friendly interface so employees of The Environmental Protection Agency’s Federal Employee Relocation Center (EPA-FERC) could easily source and book verified and vetted accommodation within their very complex per diem policies. “No other provider has dared to even think of taking on a project such as this, let alone succeed at accomplishing it! AltoVita has set our program apart from all the other government programmes with their relentless passion and creativity” - William Wiggin, Business Development and Services Branch Chief, EPA-FERC. Under Vivi’s strategic stewardship, the AltoVita team has successfully navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating 4x YoY revenue growth in 2021 and emerged as an innovative global corporate housing company. During the pandemic, Vivi seized the opportunity for AltoVita to evolve from a European player to a truly global corporate housing company that spans over five continents, with inventory in 165 countries and 1,200+ cities. 2021 also saw the team grow from 9 to 39 employees, all of whom share the same vision for innovation within global relocation. Vivi also works tirelessly to bring together RMCs, mobile employees, global mobility managers, and industry experts in order to benefit the entire sector. Her vision includes the creation of cross-industry initiatives such as the Corporate Housing Innovation Summit, a first-of-its-kind global event launched in spring 2021, now in its second year, that brings collaborative product development with open innovation for talent mobility and business travel professionals worldwide – just one example of the ways that she is connecting the sector’s best minds to future-proof corporate housing solutions of the 21st century.

Why should this person win Global Mobility Professional of the Year?

William Taylor is one of the most well-known, well-loved leaders in global mobility. During his 23 years in the industry, he’s held a wide array of leadership roles. He built and led the Global Mobility program at Adobe for 15 years, where he developed the ‘full flex’ program, which offered personalized relocation benefits for each transferee. He grew and mentored a team of future leaders, who now hold leadership roles at Airbnb, Splunk, Adobe, and others. During his tenure at Adobe, William pursued a law degree in four years of night school while juggling full-time employment. After passing the bar, William pursued a career in immigration law, leading a team in San Francisco for a global firm and subsequently as a partner in a boutique firm. As a U.S. immigration attorney, William streamlined processes for his team and clients including a digitized Labor Condition Application posting process and scalable tools for expediting permanent residency applications. William joined Relocity in 2018 after meeting the Founder and CEO at an industry event. In Relocity, he saw an opportunity to help drive innovation in a forgotten, yet high-impact area of relocation — destination services. Since joining Relocity, William has helped the company revolutionize destination services by introducing the industry’s first on-demand, hourly service delivery model. Relocity’s proprietary mobile app provides instant access to virtual tours, curated host location content, rental listings, schools, local amenities and much more. William’s work as Head of Partnerships at Relocity ensures the company aligns with the industry’s leading relocation management companies and is positioned for exponential growth. For eight years William served on the Board of the Bay Area Mobility Management (BAMM), an organization that’s taken a leading role in driving conversations around innovation in mobility. William’s most recent role on the BAMM Board was as President, where he grew membership from 700 to 1,200 people during his two-year tenure and produced annual conferences that attracted 500 attendees each year. William is remembered for leading an entire session at BAMM titled ‘Superheroes of Mobility’— while dressed in a Batman outfit. William launched the successful BAMM Mentorship program, which many other regional relocation organizations have emulated and adopted. The BAMM Mentorship program continues to operate with over 100 participants and has been a successful tool for helping those new to the industry grow their expertise and network. For the past 10 years William has participated as a mentor in the BAMM membership program. He has mentored industry professionals at organizations such as Adobe, Allianz, Salesforce, and many others, and is often called upon to assist others in developing policies and programs that position global mobility as a key business partner. William has spoken at numerous industry events, including two FEM conferences, five ERC events, two EY conferences, the Atlas Forum and regional events in Austin, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Portland, and San Francisco. He has worked on the ERC’s Global Workforce Symposium committee and currently sits on the ERC’s Sustainability Committee.
