Michael Henry rejoins TNG as a Partner. He has extensive experience investigating and adjudicating cases of discrimination, gender-based violence and harassment, sexual misconduct and abuse, and incidents of hazing and other forms of organizational misconduct.

Prior to joining TNG, Michael served as the Chief Officer for Response & Resolution with the U.S. Center for SafeSport, the national, federally-authorized organization charged with addressing allegations of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse across the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Movement. Michael also brings years of experience as a practitioner in higher education, formerly serving as the Director of the Office for Student Rights & Resolution, Lead Title IX Investigator, and Deputy Title IX Coordinator at Texas Tech University, where he built and oversaw the university's response and resolution process, and ensured proper implementation of policies and procedures across the University System.
Cathleen Parsons-Nikolić joins TNG as Executive Vice President - Marketing and Business Development. Leveraging her more than 20 years' experience in higher education, she will support clients to ensure TNG delivers solutions involving best practices in mitigating risk for schools, colleges and organizations.

We continue to see increased need for assistance in risk management, investigation, and adjudication processes associated with gender-based discrimination, student conduct and violence," said Marti Kopacz, Chief Executive Officer of TNG. "We are very pleased to have Michael rejoin TNG in the role of partner as his experience with SafeSport is directly relevant to so many of our clients and members.
