Getzler Henrich & Associates LLC, one of the nation’s oldest and most respected middle-market corporate restructuring and operations improvement firms, announced that Michael Osment will join the Detroit office as a managing director.
Osment has extensive experience as a senior technology leader in the Automotive, Manufacturing, Commercial Real Estate, Retail, and Education sectors. His management consulting engagements use analytics and data-driven decision-making to improve performance, drive digital transformation, and complete operational turnarounds.
Osment is recognized for his thought leadership and innovation across technology, business, and industry domains. His background gives clients a fresh perspective on traditional operational issues and innovative approaches. Given the rapidly expanding range of state-of-the-art analytics tools and techniques, he melds what is inherently necessary with what is now possible.
The depth of Osment’s turnaround work ranges from reassorting over 1,000 stores to raising cash for a struggling retailer and turning around a well-known e-tailer’s distribution capability to conducting a wide range of M&A merger/integration and due diligence assignments. And he has served in various senior leadership technology roles from Chief Information Officer (CIO) to Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), often simultaneously.
Before Getzler Henrich, Osment held the post of Chief Technology Officer at Bedrock Detroit, a real estate company 100% owned by Rocket Mortgage founder and primary owner Dan Gilbert. His focus there was on alternative investments like data centers, digital infrastructure, closing the digital divide, and smart building analytics. Previously, he worked as Chief Information and Technology Officer for the Taubman Company (now part of Simon Properties), a leading shopping center owner/operator. Plus, he spent nearly a decade at AlixPartners working on performance improvement projects and launching the firm’s eDiscovery and Business Intelligence/Analytics practices. Before that, Osment held senior technology positions at automotive manufacturers and suppliers, including GM, TRW, Eaton, and ITT Automotive in the Detroit area. He received his MBA and BS from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
