About Michael Riegel
With over 30 years of experience building and leading cross functional teams to deliver critical projects, I now partner with organizations and leaders to develop practical solutions and exceed their goals by embracing the philosophy of “what got you here won’t get you there.” I am a coach, consultant, author, speaker, and project management expert working across industries delivering projects and programs for internal and external clients. I developed an expertise in managing technical professionals, creating high-performing teams to deliver projects and meet organizational goals, and an understanding of how to help leaders grow and exceed their individual as well as corporate goals. I currently partner with organizations in engaging teams, supporting employee growth, and achieving corporate development goals as well as business professionals in becoming more effective leaders, communicators, relationship-builders, problem-solvers, and people managers. My experience working for and in organizations of all sizes has allowed me to develop keen insights and perspectives on organizational dynamics that propel my clients through their barriers and perceived limitations. Current and recent client organizations include Amazon, Apple, Fox Home Team Sports, Roku, Columbia University, Carolinas Associated General Contractors, Washington Gas and Light, Railroad Construction Company, and Professional Women in Construction. I also support the National Association of Women in Construction to build greater awareness of professional development benefits and offer a full range of options to traditionally under-served professionals, industries, and companies. I has traveled internationally as a speaker on Coaching and Mentoring for Technical Staff and Project Management as well as Resource Management and Asset Allocation strategies in the utility sector. I write on a range of topics, often focusing on project management, work-life balance, and organizational behavior.
