I currently serve as Bain Japan Managing Partner and Senior Executive Coach in our global Transformation and Change Practice.Over my 25+ year career at Bain, I have advised multiple business transformations across industries and geographies, including the U.S., South America, Europe, India, and Japan. I work with companies on all aspects of the transformation process—from structuring the program, to orchestrating the change, to energizing the organization. My approach to working with clients emphasizes the power of inspirational leadership, insight-rich analytics, and pragmatic co-creation to generate sustainable results.I’m fortunate to be able to work with amazing people, leaders and teams who remain an infinite source of inspiration for my monthly articles on Forbes.com on business transformation and change leadership https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidmichels.I earned my MBA at Harvard Business School, and among other things, enjoy foreign policy, music, and rugby. I am passionate about and engaged in numerous humanitarian causes. My wife Nancy and I have 4 children and enjoy living in Tokyo, with its fascinating culture, deep history, and incredible food.
