Michelle Rhee is a transformation leader who integrates strategy, technology, and human potential to deliver measurable outcomes at scale.

 

She began at Casting Networks, driving digital strategy in a startup environment where she helped architect SaaS and e-commerce platforms that reshaped how the entertainment industry connects talent with opportunity. At Verizon Media, she scaled this vision globally, leading technical infrastructure programs that powered 10% of the world’s internet traffic.

 

At Pluto TV and Paramount Streaming, Michelle led enterprise-wide transformations across 30+ countries, scaling operations 3x and guiding teams that delivered entertainment to more than 80 million viewers while exceeding growth and retention targets.
