About Mickele
I've spent over a decade in finance and strategy, and most of it looked traditional — forecasting, planning, leading analyst teams. Then AI changed everything about how I work. Today I lead AI integration for finance at Adobe, where I built the "Smart Narrative" reporting tool and won Adobe's first-ever Finance Hackathon. I develop Python-based predictive models that catch what spreadsheets miss. But I'm not a data scientist — I'm a finance leader who codes. That distinction matters, because the most valuable skill in finance right now isn't building elegant algorithms. It's knowing which business questions to ask, and how to turn AI outputs into financial strategy. Here's what I believe: careers compound like investments. The finance professionals building AI skills today are making a decision their future selves will thank them for. That belief is why I coach. I've guided professionals through this exact journey — from automating their first workflow to leading AI initiatives at their companies. Wherever you're starting from, I'll meet you there and build a plan that pays off for years.
