Throughout his childhood, Mike Reynolds had always been fascinated by comic books. He was not just an avid reader; he was also a budding artist, drawing superheroes and creating his own comic books. However, as he grew older, Mike realized that his passion for drawing was more a hobby than a career path. His fascination for technology and business steered him towards a different path, leading him to pursue a degree in business and computer science at Purdue University. From there, he began his career in the tech industry during the boom of consulting in the late 90s, working at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and later at Aprimo. In 2014, after nearly 15 years in product management, Mike founded Innovatemap, a company that helps businesses dream, design, and deliver meaningful software products. His journey from a comic book enthusiast to a tech visionary is a testament to his adaptability, passion, and relentless pursuit of knowledge and efficiency. Today, Mike continues to find ways to innovate and drive forward in the ever-evolving landscape of technology. Show Highlights 02:26 Mike reveals his dislike for ketchup and preference for guacamole.
