Michael Osment

Michael Osment is Managing Director at Getzler Henrich. He has extensive experience as a senior technology leader within industries including Automotive, Manufacturing, Commercial Real Estate and Retail. His management consulting engagements frequently focus on the use of analytics and data driven decision making to improve performance, drive digital transformation and complete operational turnarounds.

Michael is recognized for his thought leadership and innovation across technology, business and industry domains. His background provides clients with a fresh perspective on traditional operational issues and innovative approaches, melding what is inherently necessary with what is also now possible given the rapidly expanding range of state-of-the-art analytics tools and techniques.

The breadth of Michael’s turnaround work ranges from reassorting over 1,000 stores to raise cash for a struggling retailer and turning around a well-known e-tailer’s distribution capability, to conducting a wide range of M&A merger/integration and due diligence assignments. In addition, he has served in every senior leadership technology role from Chief Information Officer (CIO) to Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), often simultaneously.

Prior to Getzler Henrich, Michael held the post of Chief Technology Officer at Bedrock Detroit, a real estate company 100% owned by Rocket Mortgage founder and primary owner, Dan Gilbert. His focus there was on alternative investments such as data centers, digital infrastructure, closing the digital divide and smart building analytics. Previously, he served as Chief Information and Technology Officer for the Taubman Company (now part of Simon Properties), a leading shopping center owner/operator. Michael also spent almost a decade at AlixPartners working on performance improvement projects, and launching the firm’s eDiscovery and Business Intelligence/Analytics practices. Prior to that, he held senior technology positions at automotive manufacturers and suppliers including GM, TRW, Eaton and ITT Automotive in the Detroit area.

Michael received his MBA and BS from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
