Michael Lipson
Upcycle Coaching
Executive Coach & Mentor
Michael is a seasoned coach, consultant, and start-up advisor. With more than 30 years and 300 companies experience in Silicon Valley, he works at the intersection of business mastery, conscious leadership and personal optimization. As an enthusiast for life he promotes aliveness and awareness so people (and organizations) can “powerfully do what they’re really here for.”
During the past decade his work has focused on coaching hundreds of early and later stage founders, executives and teams, serving on boards, leading business retreats and mastermind groups, and facilitating consciousness work. He’s also a partner at Evryman.com to lift the emotional wellness and social connection of millions of men worldwide. Prior to this Michael held numerous executive positions at early internet businesses including inside Paul Allen’s think-tank, as interim CEO for the first online music company, and helping launch the first multiplayer online gaming business. Michael began his career as an investment banker for GE Capital.
Michael is also the co-founder of Tribe of Men, a personal growth organization. He tends to pack lots of experiences and people in all the time - blending work, play, growth, health, relationships and purpose together. In short, he sees it all as one big adventure! A few years back he took his family, including 9 and 12 year olds, on a 7-month learning odyssey around the world. He bicycles wherever he can and some places he supposedly can’t. Michael has always told his story by living it out loud.
