Leadership
"A systems-level strategist and fractional executive who delivers real value — and now brings that power directly to founders and investors in the impact space."
Michael Liquori
Ecosystem Architect for Regenerative Business Leaders
Symbeosis Founder
Michael helps nature-aligned founders translate ecological complexity into commercial strategy. With 25+ years across forestry, water systems, governance design, and commercialization — plus deep experience with 14+ accelerators and thousands of founders — he brings an unusual ability to see patterns across disciplines that others miss.
His work has helped founders and executives shape new business concepts and roadmaps. He brings depth around the unique business challenges of nature-aligned business: lengthy regulatory processes, multi-stakeholder ecosystems, complex accountability systems, impact measures, and the tension between environmental outcomes and financial sustainability.
What sets Michael apart isn't just his diverse and cross-functional expertise — it's synthesis — the ability to translate across disciplines, see patterns others miss, and help organizations find the Nimble Path that is emerging.
He works as a collaborative partner, not a consultant. His engagements are embedded, adaptive, and focused on building internal capacity as much as achieving specific outcomes.
