Michael Winston has an impressive career as a business leader, change agent, and organization strategist. Working for companies such as Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, and Motorola, Winston’s achievements in leadership and business development earned him the nickname “Ambassador of Change.”
In 2005 Winston accepted a position as Managing Director and Enterprise Chief Leadership Officer for Countrywide, a company with one of the fastest growing stocks on Wall Street. When he was asked to misrepresent information about the company, Winston blew the whistle, turning him into “Wall Street’s Greatest Enemy” overnight. Winston was featured in a documentary called The Untouchables that inspired Senate hearings and started the crafting of new legislation to combat the too-big-to-jail in the financial world. Winston has spent over seven years and a million dollars fighting Wall Street, Countrywide, and the company that bought it back, Bank of America.
Winston is the author of the book World-Class Performance. His articles have been featured in Business Week, the Huffington Post, Leader to Leader, Leadership Excellence, Business Forum, and Executive Excellence, among others. He is now a sought after and accomplished speaker, presenting on global leadership, change, and innovation.
