Meet Dr. Michael A. Campbell
The vision and leadership behind Work Ready Partners come from Dr. Michael A. Campbell. He is a global business leader and practitioner with a doctorate in Education Leadership and Innovation from New York University. His unique background combines real-world corporate strategy with cutting-edge educational research.
Before founding Work Ready Partners, Dr. Campbell spent two decades in senior executive roles at leading global tech companies. At Intel, he led its education division for personal computing. Previously, as General Manager of Lenovo's Tablet Business Unit in Japan, he orchestrated a turnaround, tripling the customer base and achieving year-over-year revenue growth.
Dr. Campbell’s doctoral research focused on democratizing access to high-impact, future-facing fields through EdTech and strategic partnerships.
