Michelle believes humanity is key to solving the world’s challenges.  This can be achieved with empathy, innovation, & co-creation in collaboration with the machines who will soon outperform us, cognitively, but never compete with our wisdom.  Thus, she founded MindEQuity.ca, a social purpose enterprise serving organizations committed to humane innovation and holistic transformation, applying the tools and principles of MIT’s Theory U.

Previous experience comprises twenty years in management and transformation consulting in USA, Germany, and former Soviet Union countries, based out of Moscow for 15 years, included equity partner roles with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young.  In Canada, Michelle transitioned to innovation through New Product Development certification and leading Stage-Gate International’s Canadian consulting practice.

The pivot towards social purpose work began at World View Adoption Association and continued as Managing Director of GrantBook, a Benefit Corporation catalyzing high impact philanthropy, where I continue to serve on the board.  Current nonprofit board roles also include the Peel Art Museum & Archives (Ontario) and amazing.community (New York) serving women in the future of work.
