Mike Pail
Co-Founder, Director of Technology
Mike started his career as an electrical engineer, later running his own business for 15 years before retiring and moonlighting in marine electrical system consulting. A lifelong believer in using technology to make things work better, he has always focused on using technology so that people can focus on what only people can do. With over 18,000 nautical miles of sailing experience, he brings firsthand knowledge of life on the water to every project he undertakes.
Mike used this mindset and background in Operation Cruisers’ Aid, where he drew on his experience to quickly create the systems needed to coordinate volunteers and resources without adding overhead.
With Boats Without Borders, Mike will be taking a technology leadership role in the creation of the organization, applying the same approach to build a lean structure where technology quietly keeps operations running smoothly, letting the mission and the people driving it take center stage.
