25+ years building, scaling, and leading enterprise data platforms across Latin America’s financial and telecom sectors. 13+ years enabling cloud transformation. Now focused on what motivates me most: leading data teams that deliver real business value.
My path — from DBA to Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft to Senior Solutions Engineer at Cloudera, has given me the privilege of operating at every layer of the stack.
That experience allows me to set technical direction with credibility while keeping the conversation grounded in business outcomes.
Across my career I’ve led platform modernizations (legacy → cloud-native lakehouse), designed enterprise data architectures (Iceberg, Spark, Kafka, Impala, Microsoft Solutions, Databricks, etc), and coached technical teams through complex adoption cycles.

I’m most effective at the intersection of strategy and execution, where architecture decisions meet stakeholder alignment and team development.

I believe in coaching as a leadership method: teach people how to build, give them the right tools, and the impact multiplies across the organization.

As a volunteer, I've been an international speaker for multiple events related to the data community in LATAM for the last 15 years. ​

Michael is the co-founder of Fable, a food company transforming humble mushrooms into extraordinary whole food, center of plate proteins — starting with pulled shiitake and shiitake-infused meat blends. Since launching, Fable has grown from a single retail product into a business spanning foodservice and retail partnerships across Australia, the UK, Europe and North America.

The idea for Fable took root while Michael was living on a 41-acre property, growing much of his own food and eating a minimally processed, whole-foods diet. That firsthand experience of what real, simple food could taste like made him want to bring the same quality and integrity to develop delicious, mainstream, whole food, mushroom based proteins.

2 years ago Michael moved from Australia to the US to lead the companies expansion into North America. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his two children.
