Nick Arambula

Chief Operating Officer Tuft & Needle

Nick Arambula is Tuft & Needle’s Chief Operating Officer, responsible for supply chain, retail, business development, employee experience and customer experience. Nick is a reformed CPA from PwC who realized his passion wasn’t in preparing taxes and scouring the tax code. Nick’s quest to depart a career in accounting began when he moved from Phoenix to Chicago to join PwC’s consulting practice. After two years of problem solving for various Fortune 500 companies, he realized he still wasn’t completely fulfilled. A transition to pursue his MBA at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business focused his attention to building a deeper understanding of organizational strategy, operations and individual development.

 Joining Tuft & Needle to help with retail growth and operations was one of the easiest decisions of Nick’s life. As an Arizona native, he has been very passionate about the Valley of the Sun, and knew that he wanted to return after Stanford to be able to reinvest in the community that raised him. Nick is happy to be home, where he can be found building memories with his wife, Jessica, and their little girls, Chloe and Eva.
