Background

About Michael P.

I've spent the bulk of my career focused on growth - of products, businesses, ecosystems, and teams. For the past 11 years at Google, I've been part of the Platforms and Ecosystems team, where I've led strategic initiatives for Android and Google Play (and more), spanning the globe and all of our key functional domains. This has given me unique and rewarding opportunities, like reshaping our partnerships and commercial agreements strategy, building a new go-to-market function, launching new user- and developer-facing products, and addressing challenging regulatory / legal questions. Along the way, I've enjoyed collaborating with my colleagues around the world and building deep friendships with my fellow Googlers. Prior to Google, I worked at Monitor Group, a boutique strategy consulting firm, which was acquired by Deloitte in 2013. At Monitor, I led projects across the technology (software / hardware), consumer goods, healthcare and nutrition, financial services, industrial, and automotive verticals. I also shaped the development of the firm's IP around growth strategy, segmentation, customer analysis, and value proposition design. I studied finance and marketing at Wharton, where I spent a lot of time working on quantitative customer base modeling (and also writing jokes for the school's annual student show, the Follies). I was a chemistry major at Harvard, and taught organic chem lab during the summer. Fun fact: I was also an a cappella nerd.
