My Story

I'm currently an investor, MBA candidate at Royal Roads University, and Founder & Principal of Michael Bolduc & Partners, where I advise owner-led businesses on strategy, growth, and key business decisions.

The work is deliberately narrow: I take on a small number of engagements at a time, usually with founders and owner-CEOs who are past product-market fit and now facing the harder questions — where to focus, what to say no to, how to build a decision-making system that outlasts any one call.

Most of my career has been spent as an entrepreneur in Asia, where I built and led several businesses as Owner and CEO. My background includes consulting, public speaking, business education, and blockchain ventures that at their peak reached approximately $150 million in combined market value. I later sold my ownership interests and stepped away from day-to-day operations.

Over the years, I've worked with more than 1,000 entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners and have spoken at large-scale seminars and corporate events across the region.

One of the reasons I decided to pursue an MBA came from my own experience as a business owner. I had hired MBA-trained consultants and was impressed by the structure, discipline, and way they approached complex business problems. It made me want to develop a deeper understanding of strategy, leadership, evidence-based decision-making, and consulting.

Royal Roads was the right fit — a real cohort of working executives, a program built around applied strategy, and a schedule that lets me keep operating while I'm learning.

Today, I divide my time between Asia in the winter and Canada in the summer. I continue to invest, advise selected businesses, and enjoy learning from the people and experiences around me.

If you're an owner-led business thinking about the next chapter — growth, expansion, positioning, or the harder decisions that don't fit neatly on a slide — the best way to reach me is directly.
