Summary
Miche Priest is a Manager of Innovation and product leader with 8 years of experience commercializing AI and digital products across healthcare, insurance, banking, and pharma. She has led 0-to-1 ventures and intrapreneurial projects—most notably a cat pain-prediction product that reached 72K+ organic users and piloted across 100+ hospitals—by combining rapid prototyping, customer discovery, and no-code/low-code builds. Comfortable wearing founder, product, and advisor hats, she helps investors and teams de-risk early-stage tech through workshops, discovery, and pragmatic go-to-market experiments. Her background spans hands-on product delivery (APIs, workflow SaaS, gig platforms) and strategic roles in venture studios and public service innovation. Based in Calgary, she pairs a MA in Communications & Technology and web-dev training with a knack for uncovering hidden opportunities and risks in research-driven tech. She also offers micro-coaching and consulting to help teams make faster, better decisions when momentum matters.
