Michael McCormick is the President of Farallon Strategies, an advisory, policy, and management consulting firm based in California. Farallon Strategies is a certified Benefit corporation (B Corp) founded to support transformative solutions to reduce society's contributions to climate change and the resilience in communities to address the impacts of climate change. He has worked at the local, regional, state, federal levels, and in non-profit, business, and government. These perspectives allow him to see the interconnectedness of work across governance and organizations, and to help create the vision and strategy to affect change.
