Michelle’s clients tell her that she feels like a member of their team rather than an outside consultant – and with a background in the banking industry, it’s easy to understand why. She knows the challenges, needs, and opportunities her clients face, and her player-coach mentality allows her to set strategy while not being afraid to roll up her sleeves and dive into the details.
Michelle is a trusted advisor with a track record of success in the design, development, and delivery of complex process improvement projects. At West Monroe, she has led a Salesforce CRM engagement for a regional/community bank, a Treasury Management single sign-on portal and digital banking platform migration, as well as several program management offices to successfully oversee key strategic initiatives
Prior to joining West Monroe, Michelle was the Manager of Strategic Projects and Initiatives in the Treasury Management Implementation group at Wells Fargo Bank. Before joining that group, Michelle played a pivotal role on the Customer Conversion work stream for the treasury management integration for the Wachovia/Wells Fargo merger. She also spent three years in Wealth Management on a team with $80M under management.
Michelle earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Southern Methodist University. She is a member of the Association for Financial Professionals.
