SAGE AND STILL
Sage and Still was created to serve companies and leaders who need both strategic insight and a steady presence when the stakes are high. The name represents wisdom that guides and stillness that anchors. I am Michael Riley, Owner and Principal Consultant of Sage and Still. I bring more than two decades of leadership across government, global brands, and the nonprofit sector, guiding complex systems in transportation, safety, security, and logistics. I am a veteran and a steady presence for leaders who carry pressure, workforce decisions, and the unseen weight of responsibility.
​
My background spans public sector leadership and commercial executive roles with national and global organizations, where I have strengthened operations, shaped business approaches, and improved performance in environments where results are non negotiable. I advise executives and boards on sustainable growth, new market strategy, and the operational execution required to turn plans into measurable outcomes. My work centers on clear problem solving and disciplined execution so organizations can operate with strength today while preparing for what comes next.​​
