Michael Waddell is the Team Lead for Marketplace Engagement at CBM, working closely to support CBM’s Canadian Partnerships as well as international partnerships. He collaborates closely with his colleagues to guide Vennture—CBM’s initiative focused on integrating faith with work.

His journey with CBM began in 2015, leading to a pivotal role in the Philippines from 2016 to 2020, where he focused on faith and work integration with local partners. Michael returned to Canada during the global COVID-19 pandemic and assumed his current role in 2021, bringing a wealth of experience in practical theology, having earned his master’s degree from Acadia Divinity College, and business, having run his own small business for many years before joining CBM.

Michael lives in New Brunswick and frequently travels for work across Atlantic Canada and internationally. He enjoys traveling, watching sports, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.  Michael works fervently to help people discover how their daily work connects to God’s ongoing redemptive work in their community and around the world.
