Driving Performance through Culture and Strategy
Michelle is an accomplished executive leader with a career that spans Fortune 100 companies to small businesses, defined by a commitment to building strong cultures, developing leaders, and achieving results that consistently exceed expectations. Grounded in a leadership philosophy that blends strategy with people development, Michelle is passionate about aligning integrity, purpose, and performance to create lasting impact.
At the core of her values is integrity. Believing it to be the foundation upon which all other values rest, Michelle often reminds mentees: “You are born with your integrity, and it is yours to lose — so protect it at all costs.” This guiding principle has shaped not only a career but also the way she mentors and develops others, empowering them to lead with authenticity and courage.
Michelle’s personal experiences reflect a breadth of leadership across industries and organizational sizes, from corporate giants to entrepreneurial ventures. A defining moment came while collaborating with a team of nurses to improve the patient care experience. Rather than presenting the recommendations personally, she empowered the team to deliver them directly to leadership. One nurse, after nearly three decades in her role, finished her presentation in tears and said, “This is the first time I’ve ever been asked my opinion.” That moment underscored Michelle’s belief that the most powerful solutions come when voices from every level are heard.
Beyond work, Michelle embraces a life of balance and passion. Hobbies include physical fitness, cooking, and traveling — pursuits that reflect both discipline and curiosity. Equally important is giving back, particularly by mentoring young people, with a special focus on those who are first in their family to attend college or just starting their careers. Currently semi-retired and living in Spain, Michelle brings a global perspective to leadership, combining international insight with a personal dedication to helping others thrive.
