Who is Michael Palomar?

With 18+ years as a results-oriented product leader in media and technology, I bring a rare blend: boardroom-level strategic planning and hands-on technical implementation from the same chair.

My approach is direct — clear priorities, honest assessments, and numbers you can trace to their source — and I lead every client relationship with kindness and empathy. Complex technical problems get solved faster when people feel heard, not talked down to.

My expertise was built managing operations and content rollout at A+E Global Media — History Channel, A&E, Lifetime, HVault, Lifetime Movie Club — where I served as managing product owner for partners including Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Disney, and many others. I led an enterprise Movielabs standards migration supporting over $190 million in yearly partner revenue, directed a multi-year migration to a cloud-based media supply chain, and contributed operational leadership to the 2025 NAB Show Project of the Year (Operations Category).

Today, as Principal Consultant of Michael Palomar Consulting, I operate as a fractional Technical Delivery Manager and Product Owner for B2B, e-commerce, and mission-driven organizations — including an ongoing executive advisory retainer on AI adoption, process efficiency, and data governance for a mission-driven, multi-stakeholder organization in Connecticut.

Unlike larger firms where senior attention is limited, when you work with MPC you get me — directly. Every engagement gets systems-thinking, explicit priorities, and a partner in your corner. Let’s turn operational chaos into your next stage of scalable growth.
