Michael Pirron
Vice President, Client Solutions
Michael has joined NTS as the Vice President, Client Solutions at our corporate office.
Michael was the founder of Impact Makers where he developed a new business model that took social entrepreneurship to a new level.
Michael spent the early years of his career as a Senior Consultant with Andersen Consulting (now Accenture). His tenure allowed him to consult, with increasingly complex engagements, throughout the EMEAI (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India) region. During this time, Michael lived or worked in seven countries and spent significant time in over 25 nations becoming conversant in French along the way. When he moved on to be a Product Manager with ViryaNet Systems in Jerusalem, Israel, he added Hebrew to his language skills. Later, while an independent consultant, Michael completed an MBA from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
Upon returning to the States, Michael held positions including the Manager of Application Development at Health Management Corporation (HMC), a leading disease management company and subsidiary of WellPoint Blue Cross / Blue Shield (one of the nation’s largest providers of health insurance) and the Director of Product Development at First Health Services Corporation. Michael founded Impact Makers in 2006 and as CEO grew it to a staff of 140 until he left the company last year.

Childhood dream job
I wanted to be a secret agent and travel the world on secret missions! I accomplished the traveling for work when I worked overseas for Andersen consulting based in France and sent on project across Europe and in South Africa and then also lived and worked in Israel. But never worked as a secret agent!
