      "details": "\"Mike is a New York City based strategist and coach who thrives at the intersection of brand, business, and big ideas. He works with early-stage founders, mission-driven professionals, and creative entrepreneurs to clarify vision, design smart strategy, and move from stuck to scalable.\r\rAs founder of Raven Strategy Group, he helps businesses clarify their vision and make smart, actionable decisions that drive long-term growth. His clients span industries—tech, nonprofits, agriculture, and the arts—and his approach always starts with strategy before tactics.\r\rMike currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer at Juneberry Ridge, a 750-acre regenerative farm and hospitality destination in North Carolina, where he’s building the brand, the team, and the experiences needed for the farm to become a global model for environmental and economic resilience.\r\rPreviously, Mike held executive roles at BBC News, Bartley & Dick, the Government of Canada, and Scotiabank. He’s worked across three continents and built a career out of translating complexity into clarity—whether that means expanding BBC’s reach by 25 million households in the U.S., orchestrating operational excellence from the boardroom at the bank, or getting knee-deep in creative storytelling for his advertising clients.\r\rHe’s especially energized by conversations about creative risk-taking, finding your voice, and crafting strategy that actually gets implemented. Whether you're launching something new or reinventing what already exists, Mike brings a sharp mind and an open ear to help make your next move make sense.\"",
