MIKE WALTHER

Senior Vice President, Executive Advisor

Mike began his career as a licensed HVAC field technician and advanced through engineering, procurement, production control, operations, and sales and marketing—building rare, end-to-end perspective across the enterprise before ultimately leading divisions and entire businesses.


Over the course of his career, Mike has served in pivotal leadership roles including Chairman, President, CEO,
and Site Director, guiding organizations through complex transformations, growth initiatives, and operational turnarounds. He brings deep experience in strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, with a consistent record of translating strategy into measurable business results.

Mike is a trusted advisor to boards of directors, private equity firms, and executive leadership teams, known for his practical expertise in Lean operating systems, supply chain optimization, sustainability, and turnaround execution. He is particularly passionate about mentoring leaders and helping organizations bridge the gap between strong ideas and disciplined, executable action.


Throughout his career, Mike has led large-scale capital projects, reversed declining sales trajectories, and delivered award-winning process improvements. His leadership has driven meaningful gains in safety performance, financial predictability, operational reliability, and long-term shareholder value.


Mike holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management with a concentration in Mathematics from Roberts Wesleyan College and is an honorably discharged U.S. Navy veteran.
