Michele Malo

MICHELE MALO can best be described as a force of nature. She is known as a mindset shifter, a mission-driven change agent with a gift for quickly diagnosing the problem areas of a stagnant business and setting the course for growth. Her ability to consistently return brands to their iconic status has earned her the moniker “The Restoration Specialist.” She carries her restorative approach forward as a coach and corporate consultant creating breakthroughs for individuals and teams, as a speaker motivating audiences all over the world, and as an author and mentor who empowers others to confidently live a life without regrets.

Through her career, which has spanned across Fortune 500 companies in the food service industry, Michele has hit corporate targets in new product launches, spearheaded innovation, and developed successful brand rejuvenation strategies. At Kellogg’s, she and her team partnered with the Culinary institute to implement a design refresh of cracker packaging. At Barilla US, she created and optimized the foodservice marketing platform and repositioned the product within each segment. During her tenure as marketing lead for Scholle, she oversaw the opening of the Asia Pacific marketplace, which took her to Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Taiwan, and Korea.

Michele understands that a brand is only as strong as the people behind it and thrives in situations where she can leverage her leadership skills to bring out the best in those she serves. Clients consider her to be a forward-thinking problem solver and team builder whose coaching style is part-badass and part-handholder. She is also a natural connector who understands that one introduction to the right person can transform a career. Those who know her best would say that Michele “lives her life with her hair on fire” and encourages others to recapture their vitality, find their joy, and maximize their outcomes in the world.
