Background

About Mike Massaro

I've led complex multi-site operations, directed crisis response systems, and scaled high-performance teams across industries, from real estate and emergency medicine to nonprofit and luxury hospitality. With 20+ years of leadership experience and full P&L oversight, I bring operational rigor, crisis-tested discipline, and a people-first mindset to every engagement. My leadership style blends financial accountability, risk mitigation, and systems thinking. I’ve overseen $20M+ property portfolios, founded and scaled an international EMS and diving safety company, and built training pipelines that developed frontline responders into certified instructors. I’ve presented operational briefings to boards, investors, and regulators, always with a focus on metrics, outcomes, and risk transparency. In corporate, nonprofit, and medical environments, I’ve built systems that outlast individuals. At Trilogy EMS, I launched scalable emergency medical programs that reached global offshore and commercial diving clients. At Clearwater Marine Aquarium, I formalized dive team protocols and passed external audits with zero deficiencies. At Bakers Bay, I built a safety infrastructure for high-profile guests from the ground up.
