I am Michael Haizmann, a startup expert with a focus on organization design,
product management, project management, and people-centric leadership.
I have a great passion for enabling people and teams to grow beyond themselves
herewith bringing technical projects a resounding success.

Over the past 15 years, I have built, scaled, and internationalized tech companies
as a senior product executive at various incubators and companies such as
Project A Ventures, BCG Digital Ventures, McMakler, Finleap, and Data4Life.

In 2019 I decided to expand my experience in entrepreneurship by taking on
a position as a COO and making the organization, corporate governance,
and people empowerment “my product” while tackling the upcoming challenges
through the “lens of a product manager”.
Simultaneously I worked as a consultant and coach for various start-ups
and executives until mid 2023, when I decided to work full-time as
an independent consultant, coach, and interim manager.

Product Leaders, -Managers, and -Owners

To develop and deliver successful products that meet market demands and fuel business growth, it is crucial to avoid wasting time and resources but instead do the right things (right) at the right time.

Executive and Leadership teams

Studies and experience demonstrates that one of the key reasons for the failure of startups is hardened conflicts and related inefficiencies within the management teams. If you are looking to strengthen your management team and drive business success, contact me for an initial consultation.
