About Michael Henderson

I have over thirty years of experience in telecommunications, audio / visual, video conferencing and collaboration tools using multiple providers, technologies, and partners. I have introduced these technologies and expertise to various positions across top tier organizations including Franklin Templeton, Clorox, Digital Island, Electronic Arts, Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and most recently as the Unified Communications Manager at Stanford Children's Health. I have served as a subject matter expert providing technology and telecommunications consulting for large and small companies, helping them enhance their communications strategies. I continue to be driven by working with new technologies and promoting these technologies. I am an advocate for Unified Communications. I believe it will continue to be a key contributor in assisting companies to reduce travel while increasing efficiencies and productivity, especially with the increasing adoption of mobile devices and social media. Throughout my career I have managed all of my technology projects and have successfully delivered on time and on budget.
