Richard Michaels Email & Phone Number

Richard Michaels is a Sr. Business Development Manager - Artificial Intelligence (AI). He is proficient in Japanese. Colleagues describe him as "Richard is one of the most open-minded people I’ve ever met. We were classmates in the Berkeley-Columbia MBA program and became close friends through twenty months of intense course workload and all-over-the-world travelling. Because of his early exposure to Asia culture (Japan), Richard understands very well about the differences between the western and eastern worlds. Even as a native Chinese, I sometimes seek Richard’s advice or perspective on China. Richard provided invaluable advice for my job search in mainland China. He can always pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses of the situation and then show me the best strategy, just surprisingly accurate! Richard is a very warm-hearted person. He served as our class rep for the first two terms – the most challenging time in our program. He really dedicated himself and spent much of his free time to make sure we have more of a memorable MBA journey. I enjoyed very much working with him on different projects. His way of probing questions and bringing up collaborations always makes the team work better and smoother together. Furthermore, Richard’s diversified experience in sales, marketing and business development helped him giving insightful opinions for us both in class and in group projects. I really appreciated his presence in our class and Berkeley-Columbia MBA community. Overall, I highly recommend Richard to any company who needs a dedicated contributor and an authentic leader." and "Richard is a trusted mentor even among his peers. He has advised me regularly around career transitions and organizational issues, and he is always among the first people I consult with when I'm confronted with a crucial career decision. His deep insight into interpersonal relationships and his skill at systematically and objectively examining the implications of every course of action always seem to reframe my thinking around a given problem. Richard has that rare ability to turn a difficult situation into an opportunity for growth. His positive outlook is contagious."
