Mike served as CEO of the David Allen Company from 2010 to 2016. Prior to that, he worked at General Electric in the Healthcare Division, where he was responsible for customer and employee education, strategy, and service.

In the next decade, Mike’s goal is to connect students, mentors, parents, school leaders and corporate leaders using frameworks like Getting Things Done for Teens. ìThis will help us tap into the wisdom, talent, and creativity within our families, schools, and communities. Collectively, we can learn how to turn problems into projects. The process is the same for executives and teens. It is my hope GTD for Teens will create relationships, increase understanding, and unleash new levels of creativity within our communities.
