Michael Green shares his approach to running a flag company and helps us understand why flags are such powerful tools in our culture.
About the speaker
Michael Green is a flag-nerd (or "vexillologist" if you want to be fancy about it). After the success of his first TED talk in 2020, he started Flags For Good, a company where he gets to design flags and donate to causes that move the world forward. He is a member of the North American Vexillological Association, and has served as a design judge on many flag redesign efforts. Michael now has two TEDx talks and has been featured as a flag expert in multiple news features and documentaries on the topic of flag design and personal identity. You may have even seen him come across your Tiktok "For You" page.
Before making the entrepreneurial jump to run Flags For Good full time, Michael spent most of his career working in various marketing roles at Texas A&M; most recently as the Assistant Athletic Director for Branding, Digital & Social Media for Texas A&M Athletics, and before that as the Manager of Emerging & Interactive Media for Texas A&M University.
