The YellowBird Difference
Inspired to Connect Human Wisdom with Real-World Impact
Founded in 2019 by tech veteran Michael Zalle, YellowBird was born from a deeply personal insight: the disconnect between seasoned EHS and risk management experts and the organizations that urgently needed their skills.
Michael’s father, a 40-year, highly acclaimed expert in governance, found it difficult to connect with the right consulting opportunities after retirement—despite decades of experience that could help organizations reduce risk and improve efficiency. Without a better way to connect his expertise to those who needed it, both he and the business community lost out: he missed opportunities to contribute, and they missed out on his wisdom.
That experience sparked an idea for a company with an extraordinary mission:
To build a platform that doesn’t just match skills with jobs—but accelerates the transformative power of human wisdom.
We Excel at Making Lasting Human Connection
Safety's First Signal. Today's Smartest Platform
The YellowBird name is a tribute to the original workplace safety hero—the canary in the coal mine. In the 1800s, these birds warned miners of danger before it was too late.
YellowBird carries that legacy forward, connecting experts and businesses to help keep people safe.
But we’re not just a platform—we're a purpose-driven community of passionate professionals committed to making work safer for everyone, everywhere.
