Mike’s early career started in planning at advertising agencies, before moving client-side to Sony Electronics and Snapple Beverages. Next he joined CNN's Strategic Integration Group, where he created multi-media content platforms for some of the world's largest brands. In 2009, an invitation to join Facebook's monetization team became an opportunity to build the early teams that grew Facebook's annual advertising business from a few hundred million dollars to over $12 Billion in under five years. Since leaving Facebook in 2014, Mike has worked as CMO and CRO on early stage startups. An avid outdoors enthusiast, Mike can be found in the mountains when he's not working either skiing, mountain biking, or playing golf.
