Former CIO
People Lead, Companioned by AI
Bio
Mike Rochelle, MBA, helps mid‑market and enterprise organisations build operational resilience for the AI era. As founder of Resilient by Design, he developed a practical framework — built on Tenets, People, and Technology — that helps leadership teams govern AI adoption before it governs them. His guiding principle, “people lead, companioned by AI,” treats AI as a partner to judgment rather than a replacement for it. Mike brings more than 25 years of technology leadership spanning every major shift from client‑server to cloud to AI, at organisations including Microsoft, CBRE, AT&T Wireless, and Jacobs Engineering, and has led transformation at scale — including growing a CBRE division from $40M to $400M. He is also President of AITP Lone Star, where he is leading a 75th‑anniversary symposium producing an industry‑first AI Charter.
