CEO Background


Michael Sedge left Flint, Michigan in 1973 to serve in the United States Navy, where he was assigned to diverse locales in Europe until 1977.

His last four years on the project, the company's military market revenues increased by $3 million annually. After 1995, Arrowhead Global Solutions assigned Sedge to manage the logistical, operational, and financial activities of the Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) contract for AT&T Call Home during the war in Bosnia.
Following this, he was assigned as in-country project manager for Arrowhead Global Solutions’ contract with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for the design and construction of satellite communications systems in Italy.

VP Background


Vice President Bruno Giuseppe obtained a degree in Engineering from the University of Naples, where he specialized in electrical engineering.

In 1993 he expanded his family business by winning a bid for the U.S. Navy's "Family House Maintenance", a contract he kept for 11 more years.
Bruno eventually took over the family's firm. In the last 1990s he downsized the construction aspects of the business. He instead competed by focusing on architectural design and engineering services and, opened Studio Tecnico di Giuseppe Bruno. The company was unique in its ability to develop designs in accordance with U.S. and/or European architectural, mechanical and electrical practices while adapting local construction methods.
Since then, Bruno has been involved in Italian government renovation projects, which include The Vittorio Emanuele Monument in Rome, the Teatro Metastasio in Prato, and the Palazzo dei Priori in Peruga. He also authored the Manual for Safety in the Workplace, which is used in engineering classes in Italian universities.




Founding of Company

They each fronted $2500 and three months later Michael-Bruno, LLC had private and governmental commissions across the United States, Europe, and the Pacific.
