Michael helped us prepare with meaningful questions and really took the time to get to know us well. She approaches sensitive topics with a powerful mix of pragmatism and empathy. At the event, Michael was quick on her feet, helped us keep on time, and quickly set up a system to help us synthesize a lot of input in the moment.

Michael is both welcoming and impressive, and we're looking for ways to work with her again.” —Director of Talent, Mark Yoon, Table XI
