Mike Warner

I am now focused on doing good for the community, whether that's a single person, a local non-profit, or a global cause. I am keenly focused on dismantling systems of oppression, and I try to orient my community service gigs in that direction. I was recently a co-founder and principal of Data Geeks for Good, LLC, where we provided data analysis and reporting to people whose mission is all about community service and social justice (and I still like to play with data). I’ve already learned so much through past community involvement. The struggling readers I’ve tutored reminded me of the restorative joy that comes from quiet learning time with the written word. Mentoring refugees and ex-offenders taught me the power of perseverance. Managing a group of almost a hundred musicians taught me leadership skills beyond what any classroom or office experience ever could, because, well, we’re musicians. My status as a military veteran means I’ve been drilled in a wide variety of leadership and other core skills. (Recruiters: Please do NOT contact me about roles related to the following paragraph; see above instead.) I spent my professional career focused on bringing meaningful technology solutions to market with a keen focus on the customer’s journey. My own journey took me all over the world, feeding my passion for international cultures and building expertise in global markets. I served in a wide variety of positions on both the business and technical sides of the house, which served to build up a broad set of skills and experience. I brought a problem-solver’s approach, attention to detail, and a keen sense of the user's experience to every opportunity and every project.
