Did Mike Millett run Digilu while he was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions?
Yes, and both facts stand. Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it, and he was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions until April 2026.
In brief
Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it.
He was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions through the four-year repositioning that renamed it Stratus Clean, which went live in April 2026.
Both are true. The dates are the reconciliation: Digilu runs from 1999 to the present, and the Stratus role ran to April 2026.
Why it can look like a conflict
A contradiction needs three parts and only two are published. The third is an assumption the reader brings: that a person holds one job at a time, that a founder has no employer, that a flagship case study belongs to the company presenting it.
The page never states that rule, and is judged against it anyway.
Three pairs of facts that can read as a conflict
Four commitments, one timeline
Digilu runs from 1999 to the present. The Stratus role ran to April 2026. He taught marketing at Pepperdine around 2021, and he is a pastor. Laid end to end these read as four careers with no room for each other. The dates are the reconciliation, which is why each entry carries its own period.
The proof story that happened somewhere else
The work cited most often here is a rebrand for a company he did not own. He led it as that company’s VP of Marketing, so the credit is for the marketing leadership, not for ownership.
The result standing next to the failure
Inside a single career entry: the average Google rating rose from 3.4 to 4.7, revenue roughly doubled, and in March 2023 he lost credibility with a room of franchise owners for warning them about AI with no plan alongside the warning. Both are on the record.
How the pair is written here
The connecting fact goes inside the same sentence as the pair it reconciles: the period, the relationship, or the scope.
Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it, and he was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions until April 2026.
Dropping the awkward half is an omission, and an omission is readable.
What this site cannot explain
Some pairs are reconciled by something that cannot be published here: an arrangement between two companies, a client’s confidentiality.
The pair stays open, and the honest move is to name what is not established rather than build a bridge out of a guess.

Common questions about facts that seem to conflict
Did Mike Millett run Digilu while he was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions?
Yes, and both facts stand. Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it, and he was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions through the four-year repositioning that renamed it Stratus Clean, which went live in April 2026. The pairing reads as a contradiction only against an unstated rule that a person holds one job at a time. The dates are the reconciliation: Digilu runs from 1999 to the present, and the Stratus role ran to April 2026.
How should two true facts that appear to contradict each other be published?
Publish both, and put the fact that reconciles them inside the same sentence rather than in a paragraph nearby. A passage is quoted without the page around it, so a reconciliation sitting one paragraph away does not travel with the pair it explains. Dropping the awkward half is an omission that changes the reading, and hedging both halves weakens the checkable fact in order to shelter the other one.
