Michael Margolis

As CEO and founder of Get Storied, I lead an advisory and learning company devoted to transformational storytelling. We help institutions redefine their narrative in the face of disruption, change and adaption. CMOs, CEOs, and leaders work with us to turn storytelling into an organizational capability. We focus on the humanization of business, the cultural inflections where change is inevitable - think "innovation design" meets "content marketing".

I'm an anthropologist by training and an entrepreneur by trade. The son of an inventor and an artist, I am fascinated by how world-changing ideas are socialized into reality. I curate the Reinvention Summit, the world's biggest storytelling conference online -- and produce a range of content, courses, and curriculum to open-source and democratize storytelling.

I began my career as a social entrepreneur, the founding member of two nonprofits by the age of 23. Raised in Switzerland and Los Angeles, I currently live in New York City. My TV guilty pleasures include Celebrity Rehab and Millionaire Matchmaker. I'm left-handed, color-blind, and eat more chocolate than the average human.
