Michael Behrens Email & Phone Number

Arlington Heights, Il, Us

Amidst accelerated turnover and the largest hiring effort in Delta’s history, I provide proactive thought leadership via people insights ranging from talent management to org effectiveness. I use data-driven storytelling to help HR share its value with business leaders.

Atlanta Metropolitan Area

My desire to expand commercial experience led me to a team that owns the sales narrative for airline performance in Asia and Australia. I was a key cross-functional partner, working with network planning, revenue management, sales development, and joint venture partners to optimize the corporate customer experience through pricing, scheduling, and communication.

Greater Atlanta Area

After my MBA, I rejoined Delta in a team at the center of the operation. I owned and administered capital planning, subsidiary partner financials, and technology and pilot support budgeting. In an intensely cost-focused COVID environment, I partnered with operators to adjust headcount, prioritize project spend, value asset divestitures, and manage cash to vendors.

Beaverton, Oregon

My passion for the intersection of business and technology led me to Georgia Tech, where I pursued my love of sport with Nike. During my MBA internship, I managed a project to align cross-functional planning of limited release products across Sales, Finance, and Supply Chain.

Greater Atlanta Area

In a period of partner consolidation and fleet modernization, I managed close and forecasting for 3 carriers who contracted to fly for Delta Connection. I assumed increasing responsibility which culminated in running flying statistics and aircraft ownership expense in monthly performance management and annual planning processes.

Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

My career in aviation began at Endeavor Air. I created and maintained models for headcount planning, inventory reconciliation, and management reporting. I also managed planning & budgeting for corporate back-office areas.

Hartford, Connecticut Area

My career began in a 3-year Technology Leadership Development Program (TLDP) at The Hartford. Over 5 rotations encompassing B2B and B2C responsibility, I built technical acumen and led cross-functional teams to implement an enterprise-wide technology solution, create a custom financial planning and consolidation tool, and manage monthly vendor contract performance.

Bloomington, Minnesota

I joined a marketing team that partnered with engineers to turn customer feedback into upgraded product specifications for Sports Fields and Grounds lawnmowers.
