About Michael
I was previously chief of staff at Bedrock Energy, an early-stage geothermal energy company, where I joined as the team's first business hire. Over two years, I helped deploy our first projects, hire a world-class team, and raise a $12M Series A. In other words: https://www.thesunion.com/news/series-a-climate-tech-startups-first-non-engineer-job-listing-combines-eleven-distinct-functions-title-is-literally-just-the-word-businessman Prior to Bedrock, I was a consultant at a leading social impact boutique, where my clients included the Gates Foundation, International Planned Parenthood Federation, and NYC Mayor's Office of Food Policy. I grew up in Southern California and like to spend as much time outside as possible, whether I'm hiking, playing beach volleyball, or answering emails.
