Bio
Alan O'Neill
I've had the pleasure of working with Michael for 11 years and cannot recommend him strongly enough as a mentor and colleague. Michael's exceptional ability to quickly grasp complex business processes, coupled with his outstanding software development management abilities, make him a rare talent at delivering practical, efficient software solutions in a timely manner. Over the last 3 years, Michael was instrumental in delivering a multi-million euro systems transformation project and it certainly would not have been delivered on time and to such a high standard without him. I have always been impressed at Michael's ability to command a room and get people from different areas of the business, with differing priorities, on board with ideas. Michael is someone who finishes something once he starts it. Michael is naturally good-humoured, always approachable and generous in sharing his time and knowledge with others and would be an asset to any organisation.
