About Commentator: Michael Cyger

Michael Cyger is CEO of CTQ Media LLC and iSixSigma.com.

Michael is an entrepreneur, businessman, speaker, and author who has spent his professional life turning passions into profitability. In his latest venture, he reversed traditional publishing pathways by exploiting the burgeoning interest in Internet communities and his personal dedication to flawless business execution through Six Sigma. His start-up company, CTQ Media, began by launching iSixSigma.com, an online portal that now attracts more than half a million unique visitors each month. That site offers the largest online job portal focused on process improvement. The flagship print publication, iSixSigma Magazine, now reaches more than 12,000 paid business professionals with each issue.

Before becoming a successful entrepreneur, Michael was employed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, GE Power Systems, GE Capital Commercial Equipment Finance, GE Capital Corporate and Citigroup. He was trained in many of GE's leadership and management courses at the Crotonville Learning Center and is a graduate of the prestigious GE Edison Engineering Program. He also consulted for Internet high-flyer About.com.

Though he recently sold CTQ Media to Schofield Media Group, a London-based international media company backed by private equity firm Veronis Suhler Stevenson, Michael is still actively leading the company through ongoing growth. He continues to coach executives and helps staff some of the most dynamic organizations in the world. His background and ability to customize presentations with life stories, real-world business experience and research into relevant trends worldwide has made him an oft-requested speaker at private business functions of Fortune 500 firms, industry and professional conferences, and customer summits. He is a regular columnist in both Executive Decision and iSixSigma Magazine.

Michael is a member of the International Society of Six Sigma Professionals.
