About Mike Brandt

Customers first. I do well in my career by doing right by my customers, developing true empathy and understanding for their challenges, and always delivering tangible value. A very wise and successful executive once told me,\"If you can genuinely put your customer first, then you will always win together in the long term\". I am a business technologist that helps my customers deliver on their customer promises, create new value streams, and achieve short & long term growth. I desire to work with the best brands in the world, surround myself with people more talented than I am, and put my fingerprints on the greatest digital transformations and corporate success stories in history. My process is very simple- First, I become a student of my customers\'s businesses – their goals and obstacles, the individuals in leadership, and the methodologies and the organizational structures they\'ve put in place- Second, I align myself to their strategic goals and embed myself in their organization by delivering value at every step of the way, while concurrently ensuring that I\'m always their #1 advocate within my organization- Third, I create long-term joint-success and get my customer-sponsors recognized and promoted within their organizations. Don\'t be fooled - technology alone will not solve anything. Rather, it is people that create solutions and generate value and the right technology empowers them to do it better. That said, technology moves faster than most companies can keep up with and today\'s customers are hyper-connected and ever-changing in their buying behavior. If your company doesn\'t have the right solutions for connecting in a meaningful, intelligent, and intimate manner to your customer, you are simply background noise. This is where I help. I\'m passionate about cultivating and evolving both organizations and individuals into customer-focused zealots by utilizing the most cutting-edge, yet proven and integrated technology platforms. Therefore, I\'m a champion of user-friendly design, business automation, sales & marketing strategy, and change management. My name is Michael Brandt. You can call me Mike. I try not to take myself too seriously, and instead seriously focus on my customers\' needs.
