“I combine executive-level business acumen with AI-driven intelligence to help B2B organizations break into complex markets and scale with confidence.”
Michaele Johnson is a B2B growth strategist and AI advisory executive with over 16 years of experience accelerating business development across highly regulated, complex markets including healthcare, life sciences, pharma, and clinical research.
As a credentialed healthcare leader (FACHE, LCSW) and operations executive, Michaele brings a rare combination of analytical rigor, human-centered insight, and cross-sector fluency to every engagement. She founded Metronome Advisors to give B2B organizations access to AI-augmented strategy at an executive level — not a generic consultant, but an operator who has navigated the same terrain.
