Michael Potteiger
Michael Potteiger is the Chief Operating Officer of Generation Connect, which he co-founded with his sister, Nacole, in 2013. They were inspired to pursue a career in aging after teaching their 85-year-old grandmother how to use an iPad. Michael loves working at the intersection of caregiving and technology. (He still Facetimes “Gram the Great” regularly.) He has spent his entire career working in technology consulting, and leverages his knowledge of mobile device deployment, product design, data collection, and project management to help caregiving organizations deploy tablets. Michael feels passionate about building tools for the caregiving community—the families that make difficult sacrifices and the front line healthcare teams taking on challenging situations. He believes that technology can help enhance the caregiving experience in profound ways, but at the same time, technologists have so much to learn from the caregiving community. Michael graduated with a degree in Health and Exercise Science from Wake Forest University.
