About
I'm Michael
My career has taken me across automotive, travel, telecommunications, software, professional services, and customer engagement technology. Along the way, I've worked with organizations ranging from global brands to growth-stage software companies, helping launch products, improve customer engagement, build teams, and navigate periods of growth and change.
I've had the opportunity to work with organizations including Toyota, Expedia, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Centric Consulting, and Manago AI. While the industries and business models were different, many of the challenges were the same: understanding customers, aligning teams, bringing products to market, and turning strategy into execution.
Today, I spend most of my time thinking about growth strategy, product strategy, AI commercialization, market positioning, and go-to-market execution. Those interests are shaped by experiences across multiple industries, markets, and stages of company growth.

What I've Learned
I've been fortunate to build a career across Fortune 500 brands, consulting, and growth-stage companies. While every role was different, a few themes have remained consistent.
Growth rarely comes from technology alone. It comes from understanding customers, making clear strategic choices, and helping teams focus on what matters most.
Whether launching products, building practices, leading go-to-market initiatives, or helping companies navigate change, I've found that the fundamentals remain surprisingly constant: listen carefully, simplify complexity, and turn strategy into action.
Today, I spend most of my time thinking about growth, product strategy, customer engagement, AI commercialization, and how organizations can create clarity in increasingly complex markets.
