First and foremost, we'd like to introduce you to some of the women who make your products in our EcoFactory in Kenya. They are the reason...Wildlife Works! Click here to read their stories.
Mike Korchinsky, Founder & CEO
When Mike launched Wildlife Works, he envisioned a simple but singular plan: the best way to protect endangered animals is to create a sustainable economic base for wildlife survival. In short, he set out to build a better business model, drawing on his years of experience as a management consultant - first at Andersen Consulting and then as the founder of Axiom Management Consulting, one of the leading management consulting companies in the United States. Mike shepherded Axiom through its startup phase, and his knowledge of customer loyalty, brand building, just-in-time manufacturing and integrated supply chains helped drive the company into a period of rapid growth. When Axiom was acquired by Cambridge Technology Partners (NASDAQ: CATP) in 1995, Mike stayed on with the company as a senior vice president and officer, a position that allowed him to work closely with the investment community. A visionary leader, Mike holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Birmingham University. Mike is responsible for managing Wildlife Works' activities in the US and Africa and for investor relations. He can be reached at mike@wildlifeworks.com
