Retired CEO – Human Arc Corporation
Investor, Board Member
In 2017, Mike sold Human Arc Corporation, a healthcare services and support business built in collaboration with his partner and a hand-selected management team. This team grew the organization to over 600 employees servicing both hospital and health plan customers across 40 states and impacting the lives of over 1.5 million Americans annually.
Initially financing his third-floor attic start up with three credit cards, imagine typewriters on old used doors as desks and a window AC , he embarked on what would become a 33-year journey. Substantial investments into infrastructure and technology positioned the company for exponential growth but Mike still needed capital and next level leadership experience to be the market leader. After a failed attempt to secure Private Equity Investment, he regrouped and implemented a multi-year plan that resulted in the strategic sale of the business to Centauri Health Solutions. Centauri has grown three-fold since the sale.
