From her days as a mechanical engineer and as a corporate executive, she's found tremendous value in taking things apart and reconfiguring them in innovative, optimized ways. Throughout Michelle's career, she's used that same curiosity and skill to deconstruct, examine the parts, test the functions, and put them back together. As a result, she's been able to transform under-performing organizations into highly successful ones, no matter the industry.Highlights of Michelle's interview with host Amy Peck (@AmyPeckXR) include:Michelle discusses some of the things that she's excited about in terms of leveraging technologyDiscussion about the difficulty integrating frontier technology in the work that Stanley X is doingSome of the technologies that Michelle thinks are really going to be transformative for the AEC industryNotable companies that have experienced success in the Stanley X incubatorMichelle is an authentic leader who doesn't need to steal the show — but she will make her voice heard with her own point of view.
