Entering the Mind of an Entrepreneur

I was introduced to Michael Zalle, the CEO & founder of Yellowbird, by one of our Great Conversation leaders. Zalle is a voracious student of people and how they try to get things done. This is a unique trait of a successful entrepreneur. He has also always attempted to “use technology differently”.

We discuss his journey, his unique way of seeing the world, and the unique value proposition of his latest company that is disrupting how companies can source expertise on demand to optimize their budget, process, and value.

Michael likes to say “You have finite resources. How do you optimize them?” In the people world, he is currently using technology (an on-demand platform) to optimize heavily constrained and backlogged Environmental Health & Safety assessments and audits.  He has set up a Global infrastructure that identifies, vets, and connects the skill set of subject matter experts in the $9B compliance marketplace.
