Michele B DiMartino

Michele DiMartino is the founder of Michele DiMartino & Associates and co-author of Networked, Scaled & Agile: A Design Strategy for Complex Organizations.

Michele has been a consultant, entrepreneur, senior executive, and a client. She knows what it is like to sit on 'the other side of the table,' and leverages her collective experience to construct high impact engagements for clients.

As a consultant, Michele has worked closely with CEOs, executive teams, and Boards to develop bespoke organization solutions, and directed engagements for companies across a wide range of industries – life sciences, technology, consumer packaged goods, agri-business, retail, hospitality, energy, and financial services. Representative clients include Cargill, E&J Gallo, Accenture, DineEquity, Carlson Hospitality, PepsiCo, Qurate Group, Kimberly-Clark, Raytheon Technologies, Qualcomm, Intuitive Surgical, CSL, Alliance Data, and Suncor.

In 2020, Michele and her two ownership partners in Kates Kesler Organization Consulting sold their firm to Accenture, and then went to work helping the consulting behemoth rapidly grow and upskill its global organization strategy practice.

As a corporate executive, Michele served as Chief Human Resource Officer for Intuitive Surgical Inc. and held human resources and research leadership positions with iconic global companies, like Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, and Disney.

Michele loves to share her knowledge and stay close to industry. She is an adjunct professor at New York University (NYU) and a guest lecturer at Cornell University on the topics of organization design and human resource management. She is also an expert advisor with AdvisoryCloud and Tegus Network.

She served on the Board of Trustees for Johnson & Wales University for nine years, where she received her undergraduate degrees. She did her Masters Degree at Rochester Institute of Technology and her doctoral studies at Virginia Tech.

Michele lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, with her family, where she enjoys doing yoga, gardening, cooking for her family and friends, and playing golf (poorly).
