Mike Field

When Mike Field found himself in the middle of the first riot to occur in Auckland, New Zealand, since the food riots of the Great Depression, he grabbed a phone, called the editor of the New Zealand Herald, and the next morning launched his journalism career on page 1. Find the story and get there first has been his imperative ever since. For three decades he has guided business and non-profit leaders to telling their stories with an eye to page 1. He has worked in industries ranging from agriculture to finance, cancer research to human capital and legal services. Much of his career has been in higher education, first at the Johns Hopkins University and more recently as senior advisor to the president of the University of Pennsylvania. He has been a writer, director and producer of award-winning video and television shows and rolled up his sleeves in events production and management. Mike lives in Baltimore and of course loves the Orioles.
