Bio
Mike is a tireless contributor and leader that I've had the privilege to work under. Countless times I've seen him rise above customer expectations, counsel his direct reports and coach others throughout the organization. In each of these times, he has shown integrity and gained a lot of respect as a mentor at all levels. I'm fortunate to have spent time with him and encourage anyone to do the same if given the opportunity.
I had the opportunity to work with and for Mike during my 3 years at SIS. Mike is an amazing leader who has truly made a mark on my professional career development. I will always look to Mike as one of my mentors and as a person that helped make me better at the job I love to do. Mike understands the technical nuances that the customer is experiencing and can then quickly tie that to a business outcome that his solution can help them overcome. His ability to articulate that value to the customer is unmatched. He is a great leader and teacher who's impacted me significantly.
