Calling himself “a self-taught geek with a big capital G,” Michael has always been interested in new emerging technologies and gaming. Through his early experience working in a gaming cafe, where people played video games, he met Mads. They bonded over the love of Counter-Strike and Starcraft II. A McKinsey alumni in pursuit of a PHD in Learning Sciences, Michael had to abandon his doctorate when he cofounded Labster together with Mads.

Today as the CEO of Labster, Michael is dedicated to Labster's mission of making STEM accessible to students everywhere.
