Michael brings decades of experience working with some of the world’s most notable nonprofits – like Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the American Diabetes Association, The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Olympic Committee and Paralyzed Veterans of America – from the agency, technology provider and in-house leadership vantage points.

Michael got his start in data management as an account manager at a direct mail and response management agency focused on support for technology companies. From there, he transitioned to Target Software, where he held progressively responsible roles in support of fundraising metrics, ultimately leading a team of twelve as Director of Production Services. Michael’s data hygiene, enrichment, and segmentation work resulted in streamlined processes to eliminate stagnant audience segments and increase organizational efficiency across the sector. Following Target, he went on to spend 12 years at the Alzheimer’s Association National Office as the senior director of business intelligence and system integration. There, he led a team of twenty-two IT professionals to achieve multi-million dollar revenue increases as a result of his innovative approach to lapsed donor reactivation through data hygiene practices. Michael’s team implemented some of the earliest automated processes to expand the organization’s capacities, re-wrote reporting for planned giving and major gifts officers to give them the tools they needed, and reconfigured source codes and reporting for direct response teams so they could optimize donor outreach in real time.

Michael’s strategic guidance is informed by each of these unique purviews. He founded 501 Data Solutions in 2019 to ensure organizations of any size could benefit from his pioneering approach to data reinvigoration in support of fundraising and mission growth.

Originally from Massachusetts, Michael is a passionate animal and children’s rights advocate. He sits on the board of the Perpetual Care animal rescue organization. He’s also a guardian ad litem - a court-appointed advocate for kids in challenging custody situations. Michael is their trusted confidante to listen to their needs and make recommendations about their best interests. He lives in Florida with his wife and their two dogs.
