About Mike

I help organizations navigate complex enterprise transformation initiatives involving ERP modernization, post-acquisition integration, PMO governance, and operational stabilization. With 20+ years of leadership experience across healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, and technology environments, I specialize in bringing structure, accountability, and execution discipline to high-risk programs where operational continuity and executive alignment are critical.

As Founder and Managing Director of Thinklogicx, I work with organizations undergoing large-scale operational change, systems transformation, and cross-functional integration efforts. My experience includes ERP implementation oversight, enterprise governance design, transformation roadmap execution, integration management, and operational readiness planning across multi-site and highly regulated environments.

Clients engage me to stabilize execution, improve visibility across workstreams, strengthen governance structures, accelerate decision-making, and reduce operational risk during complex transformation initiatives. I am particularly effective in environments where organizations are balancing aggressive timelines, fragmented stakeholder groups, evolving operational requirements, and enterprise-wide change management challenges.

Typical engagements include ERP modernization initiatives, post-merger integration programs, PMO recovery efforts, operational transformation governance, supply chain and process transformation, and enterprise execution leadership for organizations facing high-impact business change.
