Michael Tivey Email & Phone Number

I enjoy the challenge of realizing my full potential and helping others do the same. I continue to work on balancing my ambition to get things done with a focus on leadership and influence – getting results far beyond what I could do alone. I’ve been at my best when turning around underperforming teams, coordinating important projects, or communicating in ways that drive clarity and insight, especially for leadership.A decade ago, I graduated with an education degree and the goal to become a high school history teacher. I had the credentials, the capabilities, and the commitment to do great things. But instead of open opportunities, I found closed doors. I needed to find work. So, I took my first job as a contract employee in a call center. This was not where I envisioned myself being. But, I made the important decision to give the job my full attention. I decided to focus on making the most of what I had, rather than the disappointment I felt. And within a year I found myself being given more responsibility. The turning point was 2014, when I had the privilege of leading my first team. I had discovered my calling. I learned that I could lead. I saw that I could make things better. I realized that I could add value to others and make an impact. 11 years later, I’m still with MilliporeSigma, the life science business of Merck, KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. I’m still learning, still growing, and still passionate about getting better.
