Michael Lynch
Years in Executive Search: 20+ years in the global technology market based in Silicon Valley.
Functions Served: CEO, C-level and Board executives in engineering and operationally-driven environments.
Industries Served: Traditional sectors that produce physical goods with high technology content (semiconductors, electronic components, capital equipment, additive manufacturing, and higher education / primary research), and sectors that are increasingly turning to cutting edge technologies to drive innovation and differentiation (e.g., renewable energy, autonomous vehicles, aerospace & defense, medical devices).
Organizations Served: Public, private and high-growth companies producing physical assets. If the product is technology-enabled and affected by gravity, then it’s right up my alley … the more esoteric, the better.
