Michael Shaw is a President @ Shaw Investments | UXR NN/g UXMC | MSQM Candidate, NYU Stern at Shaw Investments, Inc.. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Mike for two years at NextPay. As he was shifting careers, he wanted to first try his hand at UX research through an internship with our team. Thanks to his critical and analytical eye and strong team work ethic from his diverse background, he very quickly showed his UX research abilities and stepped up to help manage the fast-growing Design team within a year. He's since been trusted by the design and product team as he has shown a lot of heart and passion for his craft and the well-being of the customers and company. Mike was able to implement company-wide programs and processes that helped deepen our understanding of our customers, how we built our product and scaled our customer operations processes, and helped align departments. He's been great to work with, and contributes a lot of depth to building a strong design and team culture as well. I would recommend Mike for UX Research and other team-based roles." and "Mike is an exceptional design leader that defines what design leadership is. I had the pleasure of working with him at NextPay where he has been instrumental in my growth as a UX Designer. 

 Mike has always been extremely generous with providing his knowledge and resources at his disposal to anyone who needs it. He has been a great mentor and colleague and is definitely an invaluable asset to any future project or team he joins."
