Mike Noller, President and CEO
Has been involved in the management and delivery of education services for the past 16 years – from operating a Wichita-based technology learning center that provided much needed curriculum and training to Kansas schools and families in the early 90s, to managing the delivery of more than $2,000,000 a year in education services to Fortune 500 companies for a global communications company. A Wichita native, Noller received a Bachelor of Science degree (Summa Cum Laude) in Electrical Engineering from Wichita State University and attended graduate MBA studies at the W. Frank Barton School of Business before leaving early to pursue a management opportunity with a Wichita based office furnishing and design company. Later, after spending eight years in Nashville, Tennessee, Mr. Noller returned to Wichita in March 2005 to take over operation of the Museum of World Treasures. His extensive background in business and education provide him with the unique management skills required to build the Museum of World Treasures into the world-class historical museum its founder envisioned.
