About Michael A Pue

I am an energetic operations executive and entrepreneur dedicated to scaling useful products and services to improve people’s lives. When I think about how I draw meaning from my professional life, one common theme emerges: Productive Creation at Scale. After much reflection, I realize that this is my ultimate goal. It is the reason I became an engineer, to create things that are yet to exist which enable someone to live a more productive and meaningful life. It is why my career went into major offshore construction, to build massive infrastructure as marvels of engineering. It is why I became an entrepreneur, to learn how to produce products and services at scale. It is why I will eventually run a company that makes a significant difference to my customers. I have not always had business success. And I proudly wear the many battle scars of failure along my journey thus far. However, I am skilled at: • Failing Fast, Learning Faster • Leading high performing team that provides consistent results • Transitioning legacy systems and operating models to digital first operating models • Transforming transportation, supply chain and logistics functions • Enhancing the full value EPC lifecycle • Bringing forth a servant leadership style and intentional team mentorship • Building business and operating models that scale from small teams to large enterprise • Translating business needs into digital product outcomes • Developing a niche product into a fully scaled and profitable business pillar • Creating revenue models to reflect realistic returns of a product or business ventureI have built these skills through a life-long-learning mentality, incredible timing, some good luck, wonderful mentors and sheer grit and hard work. When I look back on my career, I hope to say, “I started as an engineer who grew up to run a sustainable business that created incredible new products and services at a scale that improved the lives of people on the four corners of the world.”STARTUP ACTIVITY • Aurkei, Inc.| Blockchain, WEB3 HealthCare Platform (COO) • Octilumen, Inc.| Digital asset visibility (Co-Founder, CTO) • Diophant Capital, LLC | Quantitative Finance and Machine Learning Fund,(Co-Founder, Head of BD) • PSW Wellness Centre, LLC | Serialized wellness franchise model,(Co-Founder, Dissolved 2018) • Streamline Innovations, Inc.| Green Energy (Pre-Srs A Employee, Shareholder) • Dronezee Technologies | Drone Inspection Business venture,(CoFounder, Closed 2016)
