Brian Michael
Embedded Chief Revenue Officer, Founder
Testimonial LinePolygon IconPolygon Icon

Brian has reliably hit targets during his 15+ years with software companies, including 4 startups, an IPO, a PE acquisition, many fundraising events, and board meetings. With roles in operations, sales, leadership, and most recently as CRO for a top-tier VC-backed "unicorn," Brian helps clients develop and execute strategy, improve culture, set clear goals, identify gaps, dive deep into deal tactics, evolve internal processes, evaluate talent, and assist with organizational design. “It's obvious the market has changed and is now rewarding profitable, thoughtful growth over growth at any cost. Many companies are attempting to grow their GTM organizations without setting up for scale. The catalyst for Budburst was an envisioned world where companies could benefit from deep AND broad experiences of seasoned leaders, without needing to hire them full-time.”
