Nathaniel
Yaek
VP of Finance
TOMS
Nathaniel is the person CEOs call when the business is on fire. With a career that’s taken him across three continents—from consumer brands in Los Angeles to private-equity turnarounds in the U.S. and Latin America to corporate transformations in Australia and Asia—he’s built a reputation for solving the problems most people avoid. He blends global perspective with deep operational instincts, finding the signal in the noise and delivering results that actually stick. At TOMS, Nathaniel has led wide-ranging commercial and operational shifts: reinventing Amazon and wholesale performance, modernizing forecasting and analytics, elevating sales operations, strengthening working capital, and aligning cross-functional teams through volatile market cycles. Before TOMS, he cut his teeth in private equity, raising capital to stabilize a multinational consumer portfolio, installing financial discipline across global entities, and leading transformation work that reshaped organizational performance. A Chartered Global Management Accountant and former ModelOff competitor, Nathaniel is known not just for technical mastery but for bringing humanity and clarity into complex environments. He’s an operator disguised as a finance executive, equally at home building models, diagnosing strategy failures, or walking factory floors. He brings momentum, impact, and a global lens to companies navigating scale, complexity, or reinvention.
