Michael Gansl
Co-Founder - "The Seasoned Voice of Reason ®"
I am a hands-on entrepreneur and trusted advisor specializing in working with both leaders and teams of individual contributors to implement business development and revenue growth opportunities.
I believe my unique ability is to objectively analyze a situation or problem, break the pieces down to their lowest common denominators, and then rebuild the components and synthesize a solution.
My experience includes having founded and run Netlan, a leading systems integration company for fifteen years. I have developed sales and marketing plans and operations for both early stage and mature companies. I have also raised debt and equity financing for numerous companies both as an investment and commercial banker.
My specialties include: C-level leadership, marketing, sales, operations and working with companies from the ground up.
I know how to work with small business who find growth and increasing revenue a challenge and are open to an outsider taking an inside look at their business.
In my spare time, I am passionate about wine. I love to drive around the country side searching for and collecting old toy soldiers, painted cast iron objects, and lots of other "stuff".
You can find me on LinkedIn – just search for Michael Gansl.
