Chief Financial Officer
A few things you might not know about Michael…
If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or into the future?
“Future. While it would be fun to go back in time to experience major historical events or meet certain people, the past is already written. I think it would be extremely eye-opening to see what the future holds, especially with the advances in technology, which continue to compound at an accelerated rate. I imagine there would be some surreal aspects of everyday life that we can’t even contemplate today.”
Are you sunrise, daylight, twilight, or nighttime? Why?
“I am a night owl. I have two young kids, so once they are in bed, peace and quiet sets in at home and I can decompress. Getting in bed and reading or watching a tv show at the end of a long day is a must, even if I know I could use the sleep!”
If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
“Artificial Intelligence. Given the recent developments and progress made over the past few years, it seems apparent that AI will be an increasingly integral part of business and everyday life. I think those who truly understand and can harness AI will have many opportunities to build new businesses and offerings in the future.”
If you could have a supernatural power, what would it be?
“Provided I could reach Superman speeds, I would want to be able to fly. Not only would it be thrilling, but it would also be the ultimate time saver and unlock incredible opportunities to see the world. Imagine being able to sleep in your own bed every night but be in a new city every morning or eat at your favorite restaurant in any city any day of the week! I’ve also always loved the aerial view of the world you see when flying.”
If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
