About Michael Kerr

I guide top organizations in the translation of their strategic visions into actionable delivery plans and the achievement of their strategic objectives. I built my expertise through my work with leading institutions in the public, private, and non-profit sectors; my leadership style is a direct product of my unwavering commitment to my staff and the people we serve. Throughout my career, I have established a reputation for my situational awareness, emotional intelligence, and systematic approach to solution development. This is what I bring to every role, every initiative, every client. This is also why I have been asked throughout my career to take on increasingly complex, innovative challenges.Where do my ambitions lie? I seek to make an impact within my chosen community and to do so by working for organizations that are key influencers within Portland, Oregon. Outstanding expertise: strategic planning, operations management, performance management, change management, budgeting, human resources, and financial management
