Michael J. Lipinski

Principal, Plante & Moran


As a principal in our cybersecurity practice, I solve my clients’ information security challenges. I provide support to an organization’s information security, governance, risk, and compliance efforts-focusing on people, process, and technology. I specialize in the automotive and manufacturing and distribution industries as well as private equity groups. With expertise in data analytics, IT design infrastructure and implementation, data centers, and business continuity, I’m always thinking of proactive and creative strategies to defend against the variety of security threats that companies face.

My background includes time spent in the technology provider space, the end-user environment, and with professional services organizations. Working as a consultant gives me the chance to leverage these experiences and keep me engaged. Information security is an area that is changing every day, which means each client poses new problems for us to solve. I pride myself on staying current and being the resource that my clients depend on.
