Michael is the most inspiring and strategic market maker I had a great privilege to work for and learn from at Accenture. He was a sales leader who helped grow several multi billion dollar business groups by focusing on shared Values and Purpose with clients. He listened well, seized opportunities and shaped win-win deals for clients and Accenture. He always empowered me and everyone on our team to look beyond boundaries and forge ahead with a clear strategic focus. Most importantly, he is passionate about bringing positive changes to the world by designing and implementing pragmatic solutions. I always look forward to collaborating with him!

Michael is the type of leader who not just delegates tasks but dives in deep into the strategy and goals of every task we work on. His sales ability is second to none, truly finding the win-win in every scenario for every client we work with. I'm truly blessed to work with Michael!

Michael Wadden is a consummate professional who embodies the tenets of the Conscious Business Institute. As a board member of the World Business Academy and as CEO/President of my own firm for almost 30 years I've encountered and worked with many in business whose walk hasn't matched their talk. Not so with Michael. His mindful approach to the business of business is refreshing, authentic and pragmatic.

      Prior to leading my final initiative in China, I was the "market maker" sales lead for our largest client Microsoft. In this role I was chartered with identifying highly innovative and market disrupting solutions for Accenture and Microsoft to jointly develop and bring to market. Prior to that I was a leader in the Accenture New Businesses (Corporate Development) organization -- responsible for acquisitions and developing new revenue streams through the formation and launch of new Accenture digital businesses. In this role I led the formation of new businesses in the Digital Media Content, Digital Marketing, Pharmaceutical Drug Safety (Pharmacovigilance), and Environmental Sustainability areas. Our team formed the businesses that are now part of Accenture Digital. Prior to those roles, I spent more than thirteen years building and growing Accenture's global outsourcing practice which now represents almost half of Accenture’s revenue. In this role, I helped close sales for some of the largest, most complex outsourcing deals in the world at clients such as Microsoft, Dow Chemical, Ford, ConocoPhillips, AT&T, Bristol Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Whirlpool, and J&J. I have executed business with clients in over 25 countries around the world and known for my innovation and market making leadership across multiple industries. As a business developer, business owner, consultant, patent holder, and presenter, I developed real-world principles, knowledge and experience. I am grateful to have helped some of the largest and most successful organizations deliver high performance results. Show less
