Bio
Shane Jones
Mike and I had worked together at Westmoreland Coal Company for 3 years. He had worked for and with me during this time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Mike, and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to any team. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive leader who is always willing to jump into a project without hesitation. His knowledge of IT solutions and extensive expertise with FP&A was a huge advantage to our entire organization. He put this skillset to work to grow our department and our company. Along with his undeniable talent, Mike has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of other employees. As a dedicated and knowledgeable leader and an all-around great person, I know that he will be a beneficial addition to any organization.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Westmoreland Mining where his discipline, work ethic, care for staff, and deep understanding of company operations and financials was critical to the success of our IT services. Michael not only continuously discovered opportunities for improvement (strategic and tactical), he had the hands-on skills to execute during times of great turmoil (e.g., bankruptcy). I'll always appreciate the time he took to help me, support his staff and do all he could to ensure successful/continuous business operations. Michael clearly demonstrated his knowledge of networks, end user support, remote office technologies, IAM, eDiscovery, etc. and the ability to manage staff across multiple countries in remote locations.
