Bio
Bill Freeman
It was my pleasure to have worked for Mike while he was executive vice president at First Niagara and I was its marketing director. During a period of significant expansion and change, his leadership helped propel First Niagara onto its current growth trajectory. To every challenge, Mike brings focus and intensity, a clear sense of direction, and uncommon commitment. His ability to think and act strategically, follow through tactically, deliver on promises, and achieve results is exceptional. Mike always "leads from the front," vesting himself personally in his team's success -- providing support, removing barriers, always deferring credit and recognition to others. His energy, positive attitude, and collaborative style have earned him the respect and enduring loyalty of his many colleagues. Mike is consistently a stand out leader in all organizations to which he is affiliated. I enjoyed working for him and would do so eagerly again.
Steve Trincanati
Mike and I were colleagues at HSBC Bank USA where we interfaced almost daily over a five year period. Mike was also my client while at HealthNow where we worked together to solve complex problems and develop new products and channels of distribution. Mike is both a team player and a dynamic leader, a professional who wins the respect of others through his integrity, collaboration, positive attitude and unwavering desire to bring out the best in his organization. Mike's innate knack for sales and marketing and exemplary work ethic are among the best I have ever seen. He truly enjoys his work and has the drive, energy and enthusiasm necessary to garner support for his team’s plans and see complex projects through to completion, always giving his team the credit for achieving the goal. I can confidently recommend Mike Giaquinto for any executive level position, in sales, marketing, operations management and/or team leadership.
