Mike Schneider

My name is Mike Schneider, also known as SchneiderMike. Ask me about that some time. 

I'm a serial tech CMO turned BevNET, NOSH and Brewbound CMO and co-host of the Taste Radio podcast. 

I started my career as a system architect and a database developer. This turned out to be a great way to start because the world is this giant opportunity to organize and communicate information. I believe my time and yours are the most valuable assets we have (So stop here if you'd like). I used my years of data skills to try to change advertising into content because I hated seeing ads for stuff I don't need and typically feel attacked when something wastes time. 

I focus on creating opportunities with an eye toward helping people realize their leadership potential. I build inclusive teams that focus on building effective products and results oriented communication architectures. I am not afraid to be the one getting my hands dirty. 

I have been a speaker, pundit, blogger and author. I have been published by Harvard Business Review and Wiley. I have public speaking with experience: BevNET Live, NOSH Live, Brewbound LIVE, Taste Radio, SXSW, Blogworld and New Media Expo, Social Fresh, The Edge Conference, WOMMA, Marketing Profs, GEOM, many industry events and more. I am a techstars mentor and BBJ 40 Under 40.
