Michael supports Bridgewater Consulting Group (BCG) as a Managing Director focused on Private Wireless Networks. In this role, he advises utilities as they modernize their communications infrastructure to meet the demands of a more connected, digital grid.
With over 20 years of experience in the utility sector, Michael spent much of his career at Southern California Edison (SCE), spearheading technology initiatives across critical infrastructure systems. He began his tenure in SCE’s nuclear division, where he supported a major enterprise technology rollout by streamlining key operational processes at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
He later transitioned to IT infrastructure, spending more than a decade as the head of SCE’s Wireless Engineering department. There, he led the design and deployment of the utility’s wireless systems that support essential operations such as substation monitoring, grid automation, metering, demand response, air operations, and field crew communications.
In 2021, Michael took on a leadership role overseeing the launch of SCE’s 5G Field Area Network—an advanced platform designed to support the next generation of grid technologies.
Outside of work, Michael enjoys spending time with his family—whether watching his daughter perform or caddying for his son on the golf course.
