Michael Landers

Michael Landers is the founder of Culture Crossing, LLC, an advisory and speaking practice that helps senior leaders and their teams work well across cultures, especially when an organization is at a turning point.

For more than 25 years, he has worked with over 125,000 people from 75+ countries on five continents. His clients include Apple, Google, SAP and Uber. He advises executive teams and boards, speaks to global audiences on human intelligence in the age of AI, and co-founded Human Due Diligence, a practice that assesses leadership capacity when the stakes are high.

His work rests on a simple idea: the greatest gift you can give anybody is your own self-awareness. Knowing how you see things, and how that differs from others, is where real connection starts.

Michael was raised across Latin America and Japan, speaks Spanish and Portuguese, and holds a master's degree in intercultural relations. He is the author of Culture Crossing (Berrett-Koehler) and co-author of Present Company (Conscious Capitalism Press).
