Michelle Bakula

As Chief Financial Officer for NCS, Michelle oversees the company’s financial operations. With a strong track record in driving growth and profitability, she is passionate about leveraging her financial expertise to drive strategic initiatives and contribute to the company’s growth and success in the ever-evolving marketplace. 

Prior to NCS, Michelle held key finance leadership roles at disruptive startups, where she was instrumental in driving rapid growth, organizational change, and profitability. She participated in three rounds of fundraising efforts for one company, helped another through an acquisition, and improved the financial condition of her last company to profitability within eight months of joining. 

Her ability to translate financial insights into actionable strategies has earned her recognition as a dynamic leader in the fast-paced startup industry.

At home in Pasadena, CA, Michelle spends her free time watching her kids play volleyball and hockey. She loves traveling with her fiancé and getting outside with her two very incorrigible rescue dogs. She balances work, parenting and life, by staying active and working out daily.
