Mike B. (full name withheld for security purposes) has spent the past 26 years serving in Central and Southeast Asia. In Central Asia, he developed his business acumen by partnering with local communities to launch a business incubator that supported small enterprises built on local skills and interests. After relocating to Southeast Asia, Mike co-founded a social enterprise coffee shop that provides employment and hands-on work experience for neurodivergent young adults. Building on that foundation, he and his wife Michelle launched a comprehensive vocational training program in 2020, expanding their impact beyond the coffee shop to equip more young adults for meaningful work and transition to adulthood. In this role, Mike works alongside global teams to strengthen, resource, and align marketplace initiatives with One Collective’s Integrated Community Transformation strategy.
