Michele Wong
Executive Director, MOSAC; CEO Emerita, Synergex & CleanWorld
Del Campo High School
A lifelong Fair Oaks resident and Del Campo alum, Michele Wong has led with innovation and purpose across tech, clean energy, and science education. After earning her degree in Math and Computer Science from UC Davis, she rose to CEO of Synergex, growing it into a global software firm, and later led CleanWorld’s clean energy breakthroughs.
Today, she serves as Executive Director of Sacramento’s SMUD Museum of Science & Curiosity (MOSAC), advancing hands-on STEM education for youth across the region. Michele’s leadership has earned her honors including Business Woman of the Year, Sacramento’s Business Hall of Fame, and Most Admired CEO. She credits her passion for education to her San Juan teachers—especially her mother, longtime elementary educator Peggy Williams, who taught in the district for 36 years. Today, Michele continues to champion the power of education to change lives and fuel the future.
“As a student in San Juan schools, I received a wonderful introduction to the possibilities available to me in the fields of math and science.”
