Leadership

Michael has a proven track record in designing and bringing pioneering, widely adopted technologies to market. Known for his leadership, he has successfully built secure, scalable platforms and products alongside elite engineering teams used by U.S. and European companies such as Honeywell, Ingenico, and SumUp.

He co-founded two fintechs with multi-million exits: Yello, acquired by JDM Innovation, a subsidiary of ADG Apotheken-Dienstleistungsgesellschaft and the PHOENIX Group, and YouTransactor, acquired by Jabil. This acquisition led to the founding of the new business unit Jabil Payment Solutions. In addition, he played a key role in the turnaround of Hand Held Products, an early mobile enterprise computing innovator, which was later sold for $390 million to Honeywell.
