Meet the team
Michael Ansusinha, Founder
Michael Ansusinha is President and Founder of Snowlake Group. Michael graduated from Northwestern University (’20) with a BA in Economics & Psychology (Honors), during which he worked at Goldman Sachs (Investment Banking) and AQR Capital Management, the world's second largest hedge fund. He will be a Moelis Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School (’25).
Michael’s vision is to be the Best on the Block. In less than a year of acquiring his first building, he achieved nearly 100% collections by instituting a tenant re-shifting strategy; implemented a comprehensive energy program to reduce utility costs, including solar power to provide tenants with free electricity; negotiated an over 50% insurance premium reduction; and cleared the building of all 18 city code violations. Michael’s key principles are to act ethically, responsively, and innovatively.
Michael is on the Associate Board of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, After School Matters, Chicago Scholars, the Ann & Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital, and the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center.
Outside of work, Michael enjoys hiking, tennis, travel (16 countries), EDM concerts, and trying new restaurants. Michael lives on Chicago's South Side
