About Us

Arden is the founder of Blueback Global, and has served as its leader since inception. Arden started his career in public accounting with Andersen and held senior finance advisory roles in PwC and KPMG. The opportunity to spend significant time in Singapore, China, Taiwan, including an expatriate posting to California, led to his vision to create a better experience for clients wanting to employ global talent and expand internationally. Outside work, Arden avidly curates and enjoys his vast collection of vinyl records, ranging from 33 RPMs to 78 RPMs.

Nolan branches across all corners of the company, managing internal HR, IT, finance, strategy and planning. He started his career with Tesla, helping the company open and operate a delivery hub. He then moved to Blueback Global, where he now functions as a Chief of Staff. Outside work, Nolan enjoys travel and baking. Among his favorite countries to visit are Zimbabwe and Switzerland.
