Welcome to my site!

The purpose of this site is to highlight my professional experience.  I have been a business professional for the past 10 years helping Fortune 500 and SME`s achieve high performance.  I also have experience in starting up, building and eventually harvesting companies. My area of expertise includes, but not limited to: strategic planning, management consulting, digital strategy, business analysis, start-ups, business development and general management.  I compliment my professional experience with an MBA in Strategy & Marketing from the prestigious Schulich School of Business, which is ranked in the top 10 for global MBA programs.

Why does this site look so plain?

Relevancy, usability, simplicity, and content rule the online world.  As such I have designed this site so that it:

• Conforms to W3C standards;
• Accessible to people with visual, auditory, cognitive and other challenges, as per W3C best practices;
• Search engine friendly for maximum online visibility (On page & off page optimization; well structured CMS framework, cross-
browser/platform/mobile capability; generous font sizes);
• Use of plain language.

“Mikael is a self starter who is able to work autonomously to reliably take project deliverables from concept to successful completion. This has been done by gaining a quick, positive rapport with all stakeholders that he needs to work with to complete the deliverable.  If you are looking for a consultant who takes ownership, delivers high performance, thinks outside of the box, and brings a positive attitude and professionalism, Mikael is that person. Highly recommended!” – Tobias Bloch, Executive – Accenture

“Working with Mikael has been a great pleasure.  He has brought great insight and perspective into our projects.  Mikael is also a great team player as he’s very cooperative and yet able to voice his opinions in a constructive manner.  I would consider Mikael to be an asset to any team he’s apart of.” – Renny Lam, Project Executive – IBM
