The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.
For over 25 years in consulting, Michael has embodied this philosophy, serving as a trusted advisor and authentic partner to executives facing their most complex challenges. As Enterprise Sales Lead at Acquis Consulting Group, Michael leads comprehensive go-to-market strategies, business development initiatives, and account management excellence across Acquis' diverse portfolio. His expertise spans the full sales lifecycle — from identifying strategic opportunities and nurturing prospect relationships to developing tailored value propositions and orchestrating complex deal negotiations. Michael's deep understanding of consultative selling, combined with his operational consulting background, allows him to bridge the critical gap between client needs and Acquis' transformational capabilities.
Michael's leadership extends beyond sales strategy to encompass marketing alignment, account team development, and the cultivation of long-term client partnerships. His approach is grounded in Acquis' "People First" mentality — building relationships through authenticity, understanding each client's unique business context, and delivering solutions that drive measurable outcomes. Under his guidance, client relationships evolve from transactional engagements to strategic partnerships that span multiple business units and initiatives. Throughout his career — beginning with Accenture in 2000 — Michael has developed exceptional people management and leadership capabilities while building expertise across multiple industries including life sciences, pharmaceuticals, financial services, and corporate travel management. His extensive experience spans technology implementations, business process optimization, post-merger integration, and strategic transformation initiatives. This diverse background, combined with his mastery of sales methodologies and account management best practices, positions him uniquely to understand both the operational challenges clients face and the strategic approaches needed to address them.
In his current role, Michael champions Acquis' growth by developing sophisticated sales strategies, leading high-performing account teams, and fostering deep partnerships with Fortune 100 and mid-tier companies. His success stems from his ability to combine consultative selling expertise with genuine business acumen — truly understanding an executive's strategic challenges and translating them into comprehensive solutions that deliver sustained value.
When he's not solving complex business challenges, Michael channels his passion for taking on ambitious goals through triathlons, marathons, and ultramarathons — bringing the same determination and endurance to both his athletic pursuits and his professional commitments.
Michael holds a B.S. in Business Administration from The Ohio State University and lives in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina with his wife and two children.
