Strategic Visionary • Rural Renaissance Architect • Technologist for Human Good

Michael Ammaturo is a transformation strategist, sales engineer, and modern Renaissance thinker committed to reimagining the future of work—particularly in rural America. With two decades of experience at the intersection of technology, business development, and human-centered design, Michael is known for his ability to bridge digital systems with soul-level insight.

As the Head of Solutions Engineering at Experience.com, Michael leads initiatives that unlock growth across global partner ecosystems and enterprise sales. He is also the co-founder of Bendicoot, a remote work training platform designed to empower underserved communities with the tools, mindsets, and skillsets needed to thrive in the new economy.

Rooted in upstate New York, Michael works hands-on with rural co-ops, educational institutions, and small-town entrepreneurs to create scalable models for local prosperity. Whether he's helping launch a composting business, designing a rural broadband strategy, or training the next generation of remote workers, Michael is guided by the principle: "Insight before action, soul before scale."

His projects frequently weave together AI, mindfulness, and community resilience. A lifelong student of philosophy and a lover of the poetic absurd, Michael's work is equally at home in boardrooms, classrooms, and woodland artist residencies. His nickname—Light Guardian—speaks to his role as both torchbearer and challenger in dark and transformative times.

Michael envisions a future where excellence is not a privilege of the few, but a shared reality rooted in access, dignity, and imagination.
