Michael is an accomplished MBA with over 15 years of experience leading technical departments and driving major projects in the Biotech industry. Having worked with major insurance carriers (AIG, Travelers, etc), he has additional experience approaching projects with careful consideration of compliance standards and best practices.
From early in his career consulting as an implementation engineer for medium-sized businesses, he has had the opportunity to review and experience the benefits and disadvantages of various scenarios, providing a unique lens to better drive fit for purpose solutions. Michael quickly rose to manage project teams on a consulting basis before accepting new and greater challenges in Seattle, WA. In 2015, Michael was recruited to build the infrastructure of an emerging Biomolecular Diagnostics company’s IT department from the ground up. He has built advanced network architectures for multiple sites, virtualization infrastructure, written organizational policies, and has developed hybrid cloud infrastructures to support external services, all within the realm of general HIPAA/CLIA compliance. Michael completed migrating the organization’s financial and manufacturing efforts to Oracle’s Netsuite, and has led the development of data collection, quality checking, and automation platforms considered mission critical to the business. Michael continues to seek out new challenges and unique opportunities every day. In his spare time, he keeps busy by raising his three young boys, renovating his home with his wife, walking his Husky and Golden Retriever, and learning anything new that life throws his way.
