He joined ThinkingPhones via the acquisition of the startup Contactive in NYC, where Michael was employee #7 and the VP of Product for the last two years. Prior to Contactive and ThinkingPhones Michael spent 10 years at Microsoft in Seattle, WA, working in Product Management building social collaboration experiences in Lync, Office365, Outlook, Exchange, and Yammer that were used by over 500 million customers. Michael advises and mentors several startups in product design and process, and has over a decade of experience building & growing high-performing product teams.
