Michael leads globally-diverse teams and organizations focused on product design and creative strategy. His goal is to deliver the highest ROI possible, resulting in the creation of high-quality experiences that are equally rewarding for customers, company culture, and the bottom-line.
He does this by digesting complex challenges and converting them into clear ideas, actionable strategies, and impactful programs.
