Leadership Series, Session 8: Financial Leadership and Business Acumen

Michelle Hagan brings over 25 years of hands-on experience in small business operations and management, with a strong foundation in startup environments. As a seasoned leader who has worn nearly every hat in a growing business, she has a unique ability to anticipate the challenges entrepreneurs face and guide them toward strategic, sustainable growth.

Now serving as CEO and Business Partner at C3Workplace, Michelle leverages her expertise to empower both clients and team members, streamlining operations, driving results, and cultivating a culture of collaboration, innovation, and support. A lifelong advocate for the power of mentorship, she is committed to paying forward the guidance she’s received throughout her career.

Michelle’s passion for bookkeeping remains a cornerstone of her work, and she remains closely connected to the C3 Bookkeeping Team. She often says she’s “found her tribe” at C3—where purpose, people, and performance align.

Outside the office, you’ll find Michelle cheering on her sons and bonus kids at sporting events or enjoying downtime with friends and family.
