I speak at conferences, business meetings, social gatherings, political conventions, and online summits. I speak on the topics of business management, technology management, revenue and profit growth, planning, time management, and political culture.

Public Speaker

Many businesses today rely upon technology to survive, but they have no budget for a technology leader on their leadership team. This role tends to get handed to the leader who "knows the most" about technology.

I've served as a CTO on demand (or Virtual CTO) for companies of all sizes.

Some of the benefits of having a Virtual CTO for your company are:

‣ Access to an extremely knowledgeable technology consultant to answer your questions and give you guidance.
‣ Renewed focuses on the small details of your technology platform.
‣ Representation by a consultant who "speaks the language" of your tech team.

Technology Consultant | CTO on Demand

With many businesses lacking the time or resources to have an in-house team, I use my 30+ years of experience to identify, vet, and hire any technology team members my clients need.

Using my proven process that results in successful project completion, I take over management of all technology projects, including all project team meetings. This can be your internal team or a team I bring to the table.

Let me help you hire and manage a team of technology professionals.

Like Tony Camarata of Immedia Creative has said:

"In our line of work, it's common for issues to arise during the course of a project, but Mike is excellent about identifying and communicating them to me well in advance, allowing us to avoid scope creep while staying ahead of our deadlines."

Here is what it looks like for me to hire and manage your technology team:

‣ I take over all interviewing and testing of potential candidates.
‣ I find the top 10% of technologists in the pool of people interested in your type of project.
‣ Project plan generation.
‣ Regular status meetings to drive projects forward.
‣ Weekly status updates for you and your management team.
‣ Handling of all roadblocks and getting them removed.

Yogi's Podcast Network

Through the use of a unique approach, I help authors, speakers, entrepreneurs, and businesses create and launch podcasts.

Thought Leader

Restaurants on the Run

As the Director of Technology Solutions, my technology strategy caused revenue to grow from $4 million annually to $40 million annually with a 7x growth in profit.

My approach turned technology into an accelerator for both revenue and profit. This approach led to ROTR being purchased by GrubHub for $85 million.

As a member of their Executive Team, I made decisions on the following issues:

- Acquisitions of other delivery services
- Business growth strategy
- Strategic planning
- Team management processes
- Training programs
- Software architecture
- Software development
- Marketing strategy

Putting the customer first has always been my motto and it was no different with this position.

Director of Technology Solutions

Join us to learn all of the juicy secrets of tech leaders - their biggest successes (and failures) - on our quest for gaining that all-important technology edge.

What separates good tech leaders from great ones? The ability to stay ahead of the curve — not just keeping pace, but setting the pace.

That’s why I created Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge — a podcast for tech executives, founders, and change-makers ready to lead with clarity in a world where AI disruption, digital transformation, and shifting markets collide.

Each week, I sit down with experienced leaders who’ve been in the trenches — sharing real wins, costly failures, and hard-earned lessons you can apply immediately. No fluff. No buzzwords. Just strategies for building resilient, high-performing teams.

I know what it’s like to carry that weight. As CTO of the largest restaurant delivery service in the U.S. at the time, I was working 105-hour weeks — successful on paper but burning out, missing family moments, and watching my marriage slip away.

That breaking point forced me to rethink everything. I rebuilt my leadership approach, empowered my team, and the results were undeniable — zero turnover for over two years, no missed deadlines, and a 40-hour workweek that gave me my life back.

That journey became The Decentralized A-Team Method — a framework I now teach and the foundation of my book, The Decentralized A-Team Handbook: Leadership Strategies.

Whether you’re scaling a SaaS startup, leading a tech team, or driving enterprise innovation, the podcast is your playbook to sharpen your edge, gain real-world insights, and connect with a growing community of tech leaders who’ve been where you are.

VP Virtual Assistants

I started VP Virtual Assistants in 2017 after watching too many brilliant entrepreneurs—and let’s be honest, especially business coaches and property managers—get completely buried under the mountain of “stuff” that keeps a business running.

They weren’t failing.
They were just doing everything alone. 😬

That’s where we come in.

VP Virtual Assistants is a full-service agency built to take the overwhelm off your plate and replace it with clarity, support, and some serious “how did I ever live without this?” energy. We’re not just task-takers. We’re chaos-calming, detail-obsessed, proactive support pros who make your life 1,000x easier.

We specialize in:
📬 Property management support (guest coordination, messaging, cleaner scheduling, reviews—the whole messy backend)
📅 Executive-level virtual assistance (email + calendar management, inbox detoxes, SOP creation, operations support)
📦 Project coordination + launch support
📱 Social media management + content strategy
📝 Blog writing + email marketing (aka client communication that doesn’t sound like a robot wrote it)

I don’t just run the agency—I personally vet, match, and manage our VAs to ensure every client gets someone who actually understands their business and takes initiative without constant hand-holding.

If your backend is a mess, your calendar is cursed, or you’re about to scream into a spreadsheet—we should probably talk.

Problem-Solver | Founder & CEO | VP Virtual Assistants

Blink Hospitality

As Operations Manager for Blink Hospitality, I’ve spent the past 6 years making sure that over 400 guest rooms in 15+ markets around the world run like a dream—on time, on-brand, and without making our clients lose their minds.

From Miami to Mexico and everywhere in between, I coordinate the behind-the-scenes details that keep our short-term rental operations thriving. My job? Make everything work seamlessly without guests or owners ever seeing the chaos I just cleaned up.

Here’s what I manage on the daily:
🛏️ Unit setup logistics (furnishings, décor, onboarding—all the way to guest-ready)
🧹 Cleaner scheduling, quality control & turnover coordination
📩 Guest communications systems (automations, SOPs, and conflict resolution when needed)
💻 Team training, task tracking & performance management
📈 Reporting and feedback loops to improve experience + efficiency
🔧 Problem-solving and crisis prevention across multiple markets—sometimes before anyone even notices a problem

I'm the bridge between the systems and the humans—the one who ensures expectations are met, guests are happy, and operations don't fall apart just because one thing didn’t go to plan.

15 markets. 400+ properties. 6+ years.
It’s not magic—it’s just good systems, strong communication, and a don’t-mess-with-my-spreadsheets energy.

ProTripper

As Operations Manager for ProTripper, I support the day-to-day success of a growing short-term rental brand by managing the logistics, systems, and people that make everything run smoothly—even when no one sees the chaos behind the curtain.

I work directly with owners, local teams, and guests to deliver consistent, 5-star experiences while keeping internal operations tight and efficient.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:
🧼 Scheduling and coordinating cleaning crews across multiple properties and time zones
📲 Guest communication and issue resolution (before problems turn into bad reviews)
🔄 Creating, managing, and enforcing SOPs for property operations and turnovers
📊 Vendor coordination, task management, and systems setup across departments
👥 Hiring, onboarding, and managing on-the-ground teams (cleaners, runners, contractors, etc.)
🛠️ Last-minute fire-fighting when things go sideways (and they always go sideways)

I'm a proactive problem-solver with a “don’t tell me, show me” approach. Whether it’s smoothing over a difficult guest, juggling turnover schedules, or wrangling team communications across platforms—I'm the one keeping it all on track.

Inventory Clerk

Teck Resources Limited

Worked on tasks to support the recruiting team in hiring successful candidates. Performed Drug Screening, filing, paperwork management, candidate follow-up, and more. This was a summer internship position.

Recruiting Assistant

Let’s be honest: you didn’t start your business so you could spend your days replying to emails, chasing calendar invites, and duct-taping systems together with caffeine and false hope.

But here you are. Drowning in the day-to-day. The backend’s a mess, you’re behind on a hundred little tasks, and somehow you’ve become your own assistant again.

That’s where I come in.
I’m Torya—founder of VP Virtual Assistants, your go-to solution when “doing it all” stops being sustainable and starts being...well, stupid.

Since 2017, I’ve helped business coaches, consultants, and busy execs untangle their operations, build actual systems, and finally delegate the stuff that’s been draining the life out of them.

Here’s what my team and I do best:
✅ Handle your inbox, calendar, and client follow-ups like pros (because we are)
✅ Set up systems that don’t fall apart the second you go on vacation
✅ Make your business run smoother behind the scenes—without you micromanaging every little thing

I’ve built a team of ridiculously reliable, proactive virtual assistants who actually give a damn—so you don’t have to train yet another flakey freelancer or “just deal with it” yourself.

You can keep telling yourself you’ll get around to hiring help…
Or you can hand off the chaos and breathe again.

🎯 Based in the U.S., work with clients worldwide
🎯 Zero fluff, zero drama, just support that gets stuff DONE
🎯 Oh, and I’m also the one who’ll tell you (nicely) when your systems are a hot mess

Sound like what you need?

Or just DM me. If you’re ready, I’m already 3 steps ahead.
