About Michael L. Starkey
I’m passionate about what I do, whether it’s being a technologist or driving transformation through teams to create advantage for our customers. In my 20 years’ experience, at a major technology consulting company and two Fortune 500 organizations, I led teams and consulted with an emphasis on transforming business through technology and platform modernizations. I not only enjoy solving a problem, but I like to start with why we are solving that problem and inspiring others to come together to solve it. My strengths are in building software, diverse teams, and organizations, and shaping culture. I’m a versatile leader that can design a platform or product, has the architectural knowledge to create it, and can motivate and enable my team to deliver and sell it. Collaborating with teams and innovating from an abundance of ideas, is inspiring to me. I’m always trying to grow as a leader by understanding what my strengths and weaknesses are, so I can develop as an effective leader. My values are in connectedness when it comes to working towards a vision, trusting people, taking responsibility for your actions, and getting stuff done.
