It was important to take the time to write a recommendation for Mike. Mike and I worked very closely together at FAST, which was acquired by Microsoft. Since then, we have stayed in close contact; constantly bouncing learnings off of each other. Mike has always been very patient, thoughtful, introspective while also proactive, fierce executer. That combination makes for a very good experience for the client and a great experience for internal teams Mike works with. Not to go unnoticed; Mike is a fiercely dedicated family man that keeps his perspective constantly focused on his "North Star". I would highly recommend Mike for any role, opportunity or task that he takes on. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with Mike again!
