Michael Horsch Fizz

As the founder and president of FCI, I take pride in delivering C-Level strategy advisory services, business development expertise, and go-to-market analysis to our valued clients. My extensive career spanning multiple sectors, including technology, health, and finance, has been marked by a fundamental principle: empowering the human element.

Empowering the Human Element: In my journey, I’ve recognized the paramount importance of harnessing the potential of individuals and teams within organizations. To this end, I’ve embraced and developed methodologies aimed at ensuring that every individual and team can excel while aligning with the vision and mission of the organization.

Measurable Key Performance Goals: One key aspect of this philosophy is the development of measurable key performance goals. I firmly believe that these goals serve as the driving force, motivating and energizing employees. Moreover, they play a crucial role in aligning individual and team efforts with the organization’s financial and cultural objectives. By instilling a sense of purpose, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and setting clear, measurable benchmarks for success, organizations can not only achieve their goals but also exceed them. My commitment to this principle has been a driving force behind my success in diverse sectors. I invite you to partner with FCI and experience the transformative power of human empowerment, strategy, and goal-driven excellence. Together, we can turn your organization’s vision into reality, fueling growth, and achieving lasting success.
