Bio
Arthur Levine
Mitch is one of the brightest CFO's I have the pleasure of working with. He is a dynamic leader with great vision and analytical skills to match. I have seen him operate in a troubled environment with cash flow at a premium, never once missing his forecasts by more then a few thousand dollars.
Moira (Shelley Anne) Ulyak
I had the pleasure of working closely with Mitch on many projects and partnered with him on managing credit card chargebacks and processor relationships. Mitch is a consummate professional whose work ethic, leadership skills, dedication to his team and the organization were second to none. Even during difficult situations, Mitch in his role of CFO/COO steered the ship in any direction necessary to push our business forward. Mitch exemplified the qualities of a true business visionary. Driven, supportive, ethical, insightful, motivational....possessing a high level of integrity....I would strongly recommend Mitch for any leadership role, where vision, growth, strong management and accountability standards are needed. Again, I would recommend Mitch without hesitation. He was a pleasure to work for and provided me personally with valuable business insight that will help me with the next phase of my career.
