Summary
Michael Aanenson is a seasoned IoT and embedded systems leader with over a decade of experience guiding product, operations, and technical marketing at Exosite, where he led the Murano platform from inception to launch and now serves as Director of Product Management. He blends deep hands-on expertise in embedded firmware, Windows Embedded CE, microcontrollers and industrial sensor integration with strategic roles in business development and EMEA operations, making him equally fluent with technical architecture and go-to-market execution. Known for wearing many hats in early-stage scaling—supporting NRE projects, customer integrations, and even PCB prototyping—he pairs practical engineering chops (including LCD and bootloader work) with team leadership across support, product, and field engineering. Based in Minneapolis, he brings a pragmatic product-first mindset to connected-device ecosystems and a track record of turning complex hardware-software challenges into production-ready solutions.
