Bio
Iain Kellet
ChipX was DisplayLink's most important supplier but the relationship was strained prior to Michael's joining them. After becoming VP Worldwide Sales at ChipX Michael moved swiftly to identify and overcome issues between the companies and his win/win attitude engendered trust and the feeling that his company was a true business partner to my organisation.
Mark J. Brown
I have been fortunate to have worked for Michael for 10 consecutive years. He has been a mentor and friend. We have gone to battle against formidible opponents in diverse markets and secured a high percentage of design wins based on a philopsophy that is tantamount to sales - "Listening to the Customer". He possesses a rare combination of quickly developing customer relationships at key decision making levels; has natural leadership qualities; and internally, attracting talented personnel across many functional departments that translates to synergy for the company as a whole. Moreover, his positive energy permeates the internal organization as well as the customers that he touches. A focus on key customers yielded a ROI with strategic accounts in short order. In these tough economic times, any technology company would quickly be turned around and benefit from his executive management, sales & marketing philosophy & prowess. -Mark Brown Sales Director, ChipX
