MICHAEL LANHAM Executive Director – XIAMETER
Changing business paradigms has been the foundation of Mike Lanham’s 20-year career within the chemicals industry. With an MBA from the University of Michigan and “fast-track” advancement within Dow Corning, Mike has worked at the functional, industry and corporate levels within finance, manufacturing, sales and marketing, and across the global electronics, coatings, and automotive industry sectors.
Mike’s insights into ever-changing industry, market and customer trends has allowed him to develop realistic business cases, value propositions and competitive advantages. As a member of an elite group of senior managers and industry specialists, Mike and his team have capitalized on technology to launch a pioneering new venture, Xiameter. Recognizing the rising demand for a low-cost, high-value supply chain model, Xiameter offers a web-enabled platform for online order entry, production and guaranteed on-time shipment of 350+ products with no human interaction. Since its commercial launch in March of 2002, Mike and his team have made tremendous strides in overcoming the market’s skepticism of “dotcom” business models by showcasing the value of Xiameter as a credible E-business.
