Michelle Baxter leads Altair Global’s EMEA region with a thoughtful, people-first approach, making sure clients across Europe receive exceptional service. With her background in psychology and more than a decade in relocation, she truly enjoys enhancing mobility operations, elevating customer experiences, and nurturing high-performing teams, appreciating the differences in people.

Her top CliftonStrengths—Achiever, Individualization, Strategic, Learner, and Futuristic—drive her ability to think ahead, tailor solutions, and inspire those around her. Having joined Altair’s London office in 2021 as VP of Global Operations, Michelle focused on delivering top-tier service to clients, streamlining operations, and driving collaboration across teams.

Originally from Orange County, California, Michelle took a leap and relocated to London solo—well, with her beloved cat by her side, of course—where she built her career and family. Today, you’ll find her cheering on Chelsea F.C., enjoying a run, whipping up delicious meals (likely tacos, with a spicy margarita in-hand), or dreaming up her next big adventure with her husband and three kids – perhaps to Vietnam, Rome, or the south of France.

For Michelle, Altair is all about the people. She loves the cultural richness of the EMEA region, the global connections she gets to make, and the opportunity to work with a diverse and talented team. As someone who has personally experienced relocation, she’s passionate about making the journey smoother for Altair’s clients and customers around the world.
