Mike Mielke moved to Silicon Valley in 2008, after living in Washington DC for over thirteen years.  He and his wife Cary are happy to locate closer to family and friends and to take advantage of the inviting scenery and climate.  They both enjoy spending time hiking the Bay Area’s many scenic trails in search of the next awe-inspiring vista.

Mike’s life's work involves promoting stronger and more sustainable businesses and communities. He has held jobs in the non-profit, government, and private sectors, including posts with a number of consulting firms, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and the National Estuary Program. His direct experience encompasses assignments in the developed and developing world, where his work requires close collaboration with business, non-profits, local and national governments, and bi- and multi-lateral donor organizations.

Prior to joining the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, Mike was the Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Sustainable Business Network of Washington, a non-partisan not-for-profit dedicated to working with companies and local governments to advance the principles of corporate social responsibility.

Mike holds a Master's degree in Public Policy, with a specialization in Ecological Economics, and a B.S. in Environmental Science. Mike recently was named to the Cambridge Who's Who. He is also on the Advisory Board for Green at Work Magazine.
