As the CEO of Go Vertical ICM and Michael & Hope LLC, I lead two dynamic organizations specializing in global sourcing, product development, and contract manufacturing. With a strategic focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth, I have built a business that helps inventors, startups, and companies navigate the complexities of product development and commercialization. At Go Vertical ICM, we provide end-to-end product development solutions, from R&D and prototyping to large-scale manufacturing and go-to-market execution. Our expertise spans medical devices, consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring our clients receive cost-effective, high-quality, and scalable production solutions. To further revolutionize the product development landscape, we introduced the Creation Accelerator Program (CAP)—a subscription-based innovation model that removes financial and logistical barriers for inventors. CAP enables startups and businesses to access structured, phased development plans, engineering expertise, and commercialization strategies without the traditional upfront costs, making innovation more accessible, sustainable, and scalable. By forging strong partnerships, leveraging international supply chains, and driving continuous improvement, we deliver market-ready solutions that keep our clients competitive. Our mission is to empower innovators, accelerate product launches, and redefine industry standards for efficiency and success.
