CEO
“Michael Schultz’s contributions to Harbour Solutions Importation Inc. have been nothing short of transformative. Since joining the advisory board in 2024 and subsequently becoming a full member of the board of directors in 2025, he has leveraged his extensive experience in contract food service to develop actionable strategies that address atypical distribution. His keen insights have played a critical role in sculpting the brand’s unique selling proposition and identifying market gaps ripe for exploration.
Despite his responsibilities to ten portfolio companies and his role as a strategic investor in several others, Michael consistently makes himself available to the Harbour team. He approaches every interaction with professionalism, offering sage advice and demonstrating a sincere willingness to assist in every way possible. A man of his word, Michael has made a steadfast commitment to help Harbour achieve significant success.
Moreover, his leadership has been instrumental in establishing robust governance as the company prepares for a U.S. public listing. His input in material business decisions has proven invaluable, guiding the company’s strategic direction. Additionally, his ability to make vital introductions has significantly contributed to the imminent successful launch of the company’s first product, ‘Coca Bump,’ an innovative energy drink infused with coca leaf. Michael’s dedication and expertise continue to drive Harbour Solutions toward a promising future.”
