Michael Koziol has been involved with D Cubed Group since 2015, initially as a board member of KEH and more recently as an executive advisor to the firm. His area of focus for the firm is around brand, innovation and marketing, as well as in the direct-to-consumer e-commerce, re-commerce (circular economy), retail, and consumer products sectors.

More generally, Michael is an investor in and advisor to companies in a wide range of technology-enabled categories, including direct-to-consumer e-commerce, media & entertainment, and agricultural technology.

Over more than 25 year, he has advised and helped advance digital strategies for some of the world’s most important and innovative companies, including: CNN, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Home Depot, Under Armour, LVMH, P&G, Google, Vanguard, Zelle, Warner Media, AT&T, McDonald’s, and more.

He previously served as Global CEO of the leading digital strategy, design, and innovation firm, Huge. During his tenure and across various roles, the firm enjoyed significant growth – expanding from 500 to 1,500 employees and 7 to 13 global offices. While at Huge, he co-founded and oversaw the Huge Café – a consumer-facing brand and retail business that doubled as a retail innovation lab that implemented digital + physical design and experience strategies and piloted modern point-of-sale systems, facial recognition, augmented reality marketing, and more.

Michael was an original member of the BellSouth Intelliventures team that launched the telco’s first internet yellow pages (now Thryv) and 4 other digital lines of business. He left BellSouth in 1999 to form an early digital strategy, design, and marketing agency called Ant Farm Interactive, which was acquired by a publicly traded company, Nurun (now Publicis), in 2004. Mr. Koziol then served as a key executive in Nurun responsible for corporate strategy, global growth, and M&A. Nurun was then acquired by QMI in 2008. Following the exit from Nurun, Michael and a partner produced original branded entertainment properties – most notably with AT&T, including documentary and content productions with artists like blink-182 and pro-skaters Paul Rodriguez and Manny Santiago.
