He's a seasoned technology executive and an important addition to our leadership team," said Darik Volpa, Founder and CEO of Rehearsal.
Michael's most recent work as managing partner for Noble Studios is notable.

"The team at Rehearsal is disrupting the learning and development industry by making the rigor of practice and coaching easier," said Thomas.
