He is a user experience guru, research designer, social psychologist and more, and this shows in every project he touches. He is extremely thoughtful, detail- and results-oriented, and is always my first pick whenever I have the ability to bring a consultant or collaborator on board. " and "I am so pleased to be among the people to introduce you to Michael Cohn. I originally brought Michael on to help manage our participant database, but he quickly began contributing to our employee health assessments, our newsletter and advertising copy, our health program design, and our overall strategy for making wellness a central part of the organization. Michael loves collecting data and is great at coming up with quick, unobtrusive ways to learn from our program participants. He was also great at quickly adapting or creating plans that produced a better end-product as a result of those learnings. In his last year, Michael helped lead a large, university-wide survey to assess the effects of our new policy banning the sale of sugary drinks. There were numerous stakeholders clamoring to have their questions included, and he helped us stay focused on the information we really needed. He was also a constant advocate for our lower income and less electronically connected workers, making sure that they could access the survey and feel safe expressing their opinions. Michael is exceptional at thinking from the perspective of the user when building systems and programs. He consistently considered ideas and details that the rest of our group failed to notice. In addition to Michael’s uncanny ability to bring a fresh user experience perspective to the table, he also contributed largely to the betterment of the team by making all of his teammates more effective thinkers and contributors, just by simply being in his presence.
