Founder & Executive Coach | The Tiger’s Edge

Empowering People Leaders for 20+ Years

Michael Tiger is an ICF-certified executive coach, leadership strategist, and founder of The Tiger’s Edge, a leadership development firm that helps professionals and organizations lead authentically and achieve lasting success.

With more than two decades of experience leading businesses and cross-functional teams across multiple industries, Michael has seen firsthand what it takes to succeed in today’s demanding business environment. He draws on that experience to help clients gain deeper self-awareness, strengthen leadership presence, and achieve results that once felt out of reach.

Michael’s path to coaching wasn’t easy—or predictable. He knows what it’s like to face burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the quiet fear of not being enough. Those struggles became turning points, helping him understand how growth really happens—not from perfection, but from learning to lead with honesty, energy, and purpose. Today, he helps others do the same: turning pressure into progress and stress into strength.

Authentic leadership has always guided Michael’s approach. By prioritizing people as much as performance, he has built strong partnerships and created meaningful change in every business setting he has led or coached. His coaching integrates forward-looking strategies that prepare leaders to navigate uncertainty, embrace innovation, and adapt with confidence in a rapidly changing world. Clients consistently discover how to stay true to themselves, lead with clarity, and find fulfillment both professionally and personally.

“My goal is to help each and every client come up with a personalized strategy to become the best version of themselves.”

Michael became a coach out of a genuine passion for helping others create lives of greater purpose and fulfillment. Coaching changed his own life. It gave him the clarity, courage, and self-awareness to redefine what success meant to him. And he now helps others do the same. His forthcoming book, Inspired by LIFE: Redefining the Future of Leadership, expands on these ideas, offering readers a blueprint for resilience, adaptability, and inspiration in an age of disruption.

Michael holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BS in Accounting from Tulane University. He is a Certified Public Accountant (NY), an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), a Core Energy Coach, and an Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner. In addition to coaching, facilitation, and speaking, Michael serves as an adjunct professor at Rutgers Business School, teaching leadership and professional development.
