Bio
Gerald Mayr
I worked together with Michael very closely from when I joined Outotec. His guidance in target definition and follow up, building the team and focus on support were marvelous and full of coaching all team members. He showed a behavior of listening and very solution oriented. He always provides team members the feeling of own driven solution finding by keeping the team approach in focus. As example in a common project on process improvements in project management we improved the project margins significant. All together Michael is a very focused, result-driven, straight forward and team oriented leader with the right balance of team involvement and decision making.
