IMPACT Team

Impact is built and driven by leaders who feel a responsibility and duty to improve our civic life and discourse. They come from various backgrounds with differing views and perspectives but all share the common bond that objective analysis, open minds, and hard work are the key ingredients to progress.

Nicole Matty

Nicole has investigated financial crimes in New York City since 2013 in both the public and private sectors. She is Lead Investigator in the Special Investigations Unit at Oscar Health and was previously a Assistant District Attorney in the Investigations Division of the Bronx District Attorneys Office. 

Nicole leads an employee resource group called OsCares that provides volunteer and fundraising opportunities to support local non profits. In 2017, she joined the Executive Leadership Committee of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s NYC Man & Woman of the Year campaign and regularly leads teams in supporting the organization with events such as The Big Climb and Light the Night.  

Nicole received her BA from Wake Forest University with a major in Psychology and minors in Women & Gender Studies and Dance. She went on to study law and received a JD from Brooklyn Law School. Nicole lives in Brooklyn with her husband. In her spare time, Nicole enjoys all the podcasts, experiments in the kitchen, and cycling to nowhere.

What causes are you most passionate about?

Access to affordable health care, financial literacy, racial discrimination, LGBTQ and gender rights

What do you think some of the most pressing problems we face are?

Increased polarization and misinformation campaigns. What drew me to Impact is its unique ability to remove the politics from issues and provide a forum for people to listen to experts and make an informed decision.
