Prior to his political career, Nate dedicated his professional life to facilitating investment in Alberta technology companies. He began his career with Foundation Equity, an investment firm, where over eight years he rose to Partner and participated in the negotiation and success of several multimillion-dollar technology business investments.

Nate then spent four years at the Edmonton head office of NCSG Crane & Heavy Haul Services, where he managed their mergers & acquisitions efforts, investing over $150 million to buy eight companies and grow their operations across North America. These transactions generated significant interest from the Private Equity investment community, which resulted in the sale of a majority stake in NCSG to one of the largest Canadian private equity firms.

Most recently, Nate worked for Vancouver-based Yaletown Partners, a Venture Capital fund, where he oversaw investments into Alberta-based technology companies. Nate is passionate about helping Alberta companies to raise investment capital to commercialize innovative new technologies around the world.

Nate was sworn into the role of Minister of Service Alberta for the Government of Alberta at a ceremony at Government House in Edmonton on April 30, 2019. He was sworn in as Minister of Technology and Innovation in October 2022 and again in June 2023.
