Michael describes how, as a refugee from Soviet Ukraine, his education as an engineer helped him succeed despite coming to the United States speaking no English. With technical knowledge and skills, he gained admission to business school at the University of Chicago.

Today, he is leading Invenergy—his third company—toward building a renewable energy future.
