Michael Kaiser

Michael Kaiser is a strategist and financial analyst, currently working in Commercial Strategies at Wells Fargo Bank.

In college, Michael majored in Chemistry. In his 2nd year, he joined the Helms Research Group under the U.S. Department of Energy at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs performing chemical synthesis of molecules to create organic batteries. However, working in research became too far removed from the society he wanted to change.

Michael joined a small startup that sought to create a cloud-based financial analysis software. As the company grew, he was promoted to a managerial role and lead a team that focused on the consumer-facing data of the startup. While in this company, he developed his financial and business skills that would later greatly improve his position working in financial services.

In addition to being a strategist at Wells Fargo, Michael also is a lead financial analyst for Build Hope International - a nonprofit that builds orphanages in both India and Cambodia.
