Bio

Michael Ventura is an accomplished entrepreneur, practitioner, and educator. For over 12 years, he served as the founder and CEO of Sub Rosa, a strategy and design firm that has worked with some of the world’s most influential organizations: from the ACLU, Google, Microsoft, and Nike to well-respected institutions such as The United Nations and the Obama Administration.

Alongside this work, Michael has spent more than a decade working in private practice with individuals seeking support through an indigenous medicine practice grounded in the traditions of the Nahua people.

His book, Applied Empathy (Simon & Schuster 2018) explores the intersectionality of these two worlds (business and well-being) through the practice of empathy for the self, and for others.

He has served as a board member and advisor to a variety of organizations including The Burning Man Project, The Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, and the United Nations-affiliated Tribal Link Foundation. He is a visiting lecturer at institutions such as Princeton University and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

An ardent steward of self-development practices, Michael is frequently engaged as an advisor to leaders seeking personal and professional growth.
