Mikhaël Akasha works at the intersection of human transformation and systemic innovation. As Innovation & Business Ethics Lead at UMIO, the executive branch of Maastricht University’s School of Business & Economics, he guides leaders, executives, and MBA participants in shaping futures that serve life. Within UMIO’s Sustainable Business & Future-Proof Business Model tracks, ranked Top 3 in the world and Number 1 in Europe by Corporate Knights, he lectures, leads and designs programs that help organisations shift from reduction to regeneration, from compliance to coherence, and from linear thinking to life-attuned design.

With a background that spans creative leadership (Mother, StrawberryFrog) to business strategy and regenerative design, Mikhaël brings a rare synthesis to the work: rigorous academic frameworks woven with deep energetic awareness, indigenous wisdom, and an understanding of the human blueprint. Through Human by, he supports students and executives through programs such as Lifeproof, where he shares sustainable innovation, regenerative business models, and material intelligence that uplifts people, planet, and long-term value.

Across industries from healthcare to technology, public-sector to corporate transformation, his work empowers teams to design systems that are not only effective, but alive, resilient, and fit for the world ahead.
