President and CEO of UNICEF
Hometown: Apple Valley, Minn.
UW-Green Bay opened doors Michael didn’t expect: he came to play soccer, fell in love with writing, became a journalist and that led to a career in humanitarian work. Like other CEOs, he drives revenue, balances budgets, deals with auditors, regulators and more, but in leading UNICEF USA, he measures the organization’s bottom line in the impact it has on children around the world.
