From the CEO Chair to Your Strategic Partner

I’m Michael Zelenka, founder of m2square Consulting. For over two decades, I wasn’t just an advisor; I was in the trenches as CEO and Chief Innovation Officer of a multi-million-dollar family-owned construction company. I spearheaded the transformations – implementing digital marketing, ERP, CRM, and process automation – that drove significant profitability, streamlined operations, and positioned us for long-term market leadership.

This firsthand experience showed me the unique pressures SMB leaders face. That’s why m2square isn’t about generic solutions or just implementing software. I serve as your trusted strategic advisor. My role is to equip you with the clarity, frameworks, and C-suite insights needed to turn complexity into your competitive advantage. I partner with you to build sustainable success, not just quick fixes.
