About
Michelle “” Schonberg works where sound, systems, imagination, and human possibility meet.
Across more than fourteen years, her path has moved through recording studios, festival stages, live venues, composition, sound design, creative direction, artist development, emerging technology, and ethical business infrastructure.

M3KI × MICHI∞
Building the systems behind human possibility.
Every creative future depends upon systems capable of sustaining it.
Energy, computation, communication, security, and infrastructure shape whether communities can grow, institutions can endure, ideas can move, and people can remain connected through moments of change.
At M3KI, technology is not treated as an end in itself. It is understood as a responsibility.
“The systems powering the future should do more than process information or produce energy. They should protect human life, strengthen communities, preserve essential resources, expand opportunity, and remain resilient when people need them most.”
As Director of Business Development & Strategy at M3KI, Michi works alongside her father, Colonel (Ret.) Mark Schonberg, connecting decades of public service, mission-critical leadership, and infrastructure expertise with a new generation of resilient, sustainable, and human-centered innovation.
Throughout his career, Mark has helped lead and protect complex communications, cybersecurity, data-center, and critical-infrastructure environments where reliability, security, and human responsibility were inseparable.
His work has been guided by a commitment to protecting people, strengthening essential institutions, and building systems capable of performing under extraordinary demands. He is also deeply humanitarian in his outlook: technology and infrastructure should ultimately improve people’s lives, strengthen communities, protect essential resources, and create greater stability and opportunity.
That foundation informs M3KI’s work across AI and data-center infrastructure, resilient renewable energy systems, mission-critical cybersecurity, strategic infrastructure, and high-stakes technology advisory.
Michi expands that foundation through business development, strategic partnerships, venture development, creative and communications strategy, humanitarian positioning, multidisciplinary relationship building, and the ability to connect deeply technical systems with culture, communities, opportunity, and human purpose.
Together, they are carrying an intergenerational legacy of leadership into a future where infrastructure must be intelligent, secure, sustainable, resilient, and worthy of the people who depend upon it.
