Bio
Wesley Davis
Michael is a fantastic manager who leads by example, there’s no question to small and is always there to offer advice and strategies. His attitude and development really excelled my progression and I will miss working with him.
Tyler Hutchison
Mike is the best manager I've ever had. His coaching led to me increasing my opportunity rate by 50%+. If you want to learn about the art of business development, he's your guy. Michael found the way to be an exceptionally supportive and resourceful leader to us without being 'micromanagey'. He's very devoted to his team-- he would go bat for us half-way around the world whenever we needed it. He'd carefully consult with us and his superiors regularly to best calibrate the direction of our team. Apart from his BD acumen, he's charismatic and fun to work with. We always looked forward to meeting with Mike. Any company looking to grow demand for their product is lucky to have him!
