Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Waddick is a seasoned engineering leader and advisor with 11 years of experience evolving from electrical and firmware engineering to managing and ultimately leading Punch Through. Based in Minneapolis, he blends technical depth in hardware/firmware with pragmatic leadership, having served as President and now as Managing Partner while continuing part-time advisory work in finance and marketing. Known for nurturing talent through hands-on mentorship (and famously fueling Monday-morning team culture with homemade omelets), he fosters environments where psychological safety and practical skill-building coexist. Currently transitioning into counseling—pursuing a Master’s in Counseling and Psychological Services to become an LPCC—he brings a rare combination of technical credibility and formal training in mental health support. That mix enables him to bridge gaps between engineering practice, organizational growth, and individual wellbeing.
