About Michael

Most AI courses are taught by technologists who've never managed a product team. This one isn't.

I spent 20 years in product leadership at Sony, Qualcomm, and T-Mobile—where bad strategy means missing quarters, not deadlines. Implementation isn't about technology. It's leadership.

While others teach AI tools, I teach strategic thinking about AI transformation. My frameworks come from leading teams through shifts that determined company trajectories.

I teach Strategy at UW & Seattle Univ. because future leaders need to understand: AI isn't a technical problem. It's a strategic challenge.

Product managers getting promoted for AI leadership don't know machine learning best. They position initiatives, build capable teams, and navigate change.

This course teaches AI leadership, not AI tools.
