Michael J. Lopez helps organizations solve one of their hardest problems: how to make change actually stick.

Michael is a practitioner, not a passenger. From the operations center at the Defense Intelligence Agency to the boardrooms of the Fortune 500, he has spent over 20 years in the room where change either lives or dies. As a former Managing Director at two Big Four firms and a senior leader at Booz Allen Hamilton, he learned what the consulting industry gets right and where it falls short. So he left to prove there's a better way.

As the founder of Michael J. Lopez Consulting, his clients include Entergy, Clorox, Vanguard, Meta, Lyft, Compass One, Southwest Gas, CalHFA, and other mission-driven public agencies across healthcare, energy, financial services, technology, government, and consumer goods.

Michael's approach combines the neuroscience of behavior with hands-on execution. He is the author of CHANGE: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body, and Behavior, and his national workforce study, Rethinking Change Management, surveyed 1,000 American workers and revealed that there is zero overlap between what organizations provide during change and what workers actually need to succeed. That finding is reshaping how leaders think about transformation.

He is a LinkedIn Top Voice and the host of the Top Voice Podcast, a fast-growing series that airs live on LinkedIn and YouTube and brings together thought leaders to explore the real challenges facing today's businesses.

Whether he's advising Fortune 500 executives or public sector leaders, Michael brings the same focus: science-backed insight, straight talk, and strategies that work in the real world.

As a former college athlete, Michael is a member of the Positive Coaching Alliance Leadership Council and remains engaged with sports as a high school football coach.
