An Exclusive Interview with Authority Magazine
When we think of innovation, we often picture sleek labs, cutting-edge prototypes, and disruptive ideas that challenge the status quo. However, behind every breakthrough invention lies a crucial yet often overlooked process: turning patents into commercially viable products.
With a keen eye for transformative ideas and an unwavering commitment to execution, Michael has carved out a niche in the world of intellectual property commercialization. In this exclusive feature, we dive into his journey, the principles that drive his leadership, and his advice for the next generation of inventors and entrepreneurs.
The Journey of a Visionary Leader
Michael’s path to becoming an innovation leader wasn’t conventional. His passion for technology and problem-solving led him to recognize a fundamental challenge in the industry: countless brilliant ideas never see the light of day due to commercialization barriers. Go Vertical ICM was born out of the need to change that narrative.
Under his leadership, the company has transformed into a strategic hub for inventors, startups, and corporations seeking to navigate the complex terrain of product development, intellectual property strategy, and market launch.
“Ideas alone don’t change the world—execution does. At Go Vertical ICM, we ensure that patented innovations don’t just sit on a shelf but become products that improve lives.” — Michael

Leadership Lessons from the Helm of Innovation
As a CEO, Michael’s leadership style is deeply rooted in three fundamental principles:
1. Vision-Driven Execution

2. Strategic Partnerships
• Recognizing that no invention thrives in isolation, he has built global partnerships with manufacturers, legal experts, and investment firms to accelerate the commercialization process.
3. Resilience & Adaptability
• Bringing innovation to life isn’t a straight road; it’s a dynamic process filled with unexpected hurdles. Michael believes that pivoting when necessary is a hallmark of great leadership.
