Michelle is a Senior AI Ethics Executive and business strategist dedicated to finding the "human anchor" in an automated world. As a leader in AI compliance and the founder of the strategy firm True North Axiom, she navigates the high-stakes intersection of global technology and irreducible human values. Her perspective is uniquely shaped by a dual life: while she manages complex AI governance by day, she has spent over 20 years as a yoga teacher, spiritual leader, and mentor. This deep foundation in mindfulness allows her to see what data often misses: the power of the "pause" in a world of instant optimization.

Known for her "Midwestern Mom" pragmatism and sharp executive insight, Michelle challenges the modern obsession with "frictionless" progress. She argues that the messy, slow, and often difficult moments of nuanced human decision-making—the True North Axioms—are not bugs in the system, but the very features that protect our collective soul. By integrating two decades of spiritual mentorship with cutting-edge tech strategy, she provides a roadmap for leaders and communities to maintain their moral compass even as the digital landscape shifts beneath them.

Based in Minnesota, Michelle is the creator of the Prompt Me Maybe podcast and a community advocate who believes that in an era of infinite algorithmic optimization, the most radical thing we can do is stay intentionally, stubbornly human. She is a sought-after voice for organizations looking to scale their technology without losing their humanity, proving that the most successful "Human-Led" strategies are built on a bedrock of un-programmable truth.
