Mike Figliuolo is too impatient to be a serial entrepreneur so he’s decided to be a parallel entrepreneur instead.

After graduating from West Point and a stint in the U.S. Army, he spent time in corporate America as a McKinsey consultant and as an executive at Capital One and Scotts Miracle-Gro.

He’s currently the founder and managing director of thoughtLEADERS, LLC (a leadership training firm), the author of One Piece of Paper: The Simple Approach to Powerful, Personal Leadership, a principal at weBuild (a web and mobile accelerator), the CEO of TiXiT, and the founder of FreakJet.com.  He gravitates toward companies with odd combinations of lowercase and capital letters.  He loves all things entrepreneurial and he’s deeply involved in the startup community.  He’s a member of the Ohio TechAngel fund, a 10x mentor, and general instigator of creative new ideas.
