A trusted leader with nearly two decades of experience across diverse industries, Michael has driven strategic growth, fostered innovation, and built lasting partnerships.


Recognized as one of Cincinnati's "40 Under 40" leaders, Michael's career is defined by his ability to merge big-picture thinking with tactical execution. His transformative leadership has delivered exceptional results, including 250% growth at Divisions Maintenance Group, transitioning Gannett's print model into a digital-first powerhouse, and spearheading new market strategies for global leaders like Givaudan.
