A Quick CV About Michael -

Michael J. Snell built his career at the intersection of luxury consumer psychology, high-performance brand strategy, and transformational business leadership — combining Ivy League academic rigor with executive-level experience at some of the world’s most recognized companies.

Michael earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing & Management from Wagner College in New York City, where his early understanding of consumer engagement quickly translated into measurable corporate success. During his tenure with Bloomingdale’s flagship New York operation under the Macy’s Corporation umbrella, he reconceptualized and directed a large-scale Customer Retention & Engagement Training Program that reshaped frontline luxury retail interaction. Training more than 2,600 employees, his strategy-driven initiatives generated a documented 23% increase in sales productivity over an eight-month period while also substantially increasing the transition rate of seasonal staff into high-performing full-time roles.

Following the completion of his first Master’s Degree in Marketing, Michael joined Tesla as a Consumer Experience Specialist, where he played a pivotal role in refining the company’s in-store and interpersonal customer journey during one of the most disruptive eras in automotive history. Recognized for both strategic insight and operational execution, he was later elevated into executive leadership, ultimately serving within global launch and experiential initiatives reporting directly into the executive management structure led by Elon Musk.

At Tesla, Michael directed and influenced multiple facets of customer experience innovation, oversaw global launch activations, and contributed to marketing initiatives tied to more than $170 million in sales impact. His work intersected with some of the company’s most defining product introductions, including the Tesla Model X, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Powerwall, Tesla Solar Roof, and the launch visibility surrounding the Gigafactory. During this period, he simultaneously completed his second Master’s Degree in Management, reinforcing his belief that modern leadership requires equal parts innovation, operational discipline, and consumer understanding.

Michael was subsequently recruited to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America under the BMW Group, where he helped redefine marketing visibility and next-generation consumer engagement for one of the world’s most iconic ultra-luxury automotive marques. Overseeing marketing initiatives across North America, South America, and Canada, he directed major product launches, digital visibility campaigns, experiential activations, and dealer engagement strategy during a transformational period for the brand.

His influence helped modernize the company’s market perception among younger affluent audiences while maintaining the heritage, exclusivity, and craftsmanship that define the Rolls-Royce legacy. Under his strategic oversight, launches including the Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII and the groundbreaking Rolls-Royce Cullinan achieved extraordinary global visibility and commercial success, helping solidify the region as one of the brand’s strongest revenue-generating markets tied to marketing performance and consumer engagement initiatives.

Most recently, Michael completed advanced doctoral studies through the Yale School of Management, earning a PhD centered on the application of Consumer Behaviorism within luxury, experiential, and high-visibility business sectors. Surrounded by fellow executive leaders, innovators, and industry influencers, he considers the achievement among the proudest milestones of his career — not only academically, but personally.

Beyond his executive and advisory work, Michael also serves as President of The Snell Consolidated Trust, a family office focused on long-term investment strategy, philanthropy, preservation initiatives, and forward-thinking innovation across multiple sectors.
