Dennis Burnell, MBA, PMP, CSM, CSPO
A talented sales professional, Mike is exceptional at understanding his customer. His detail-oriented style and strong customer advocacy instilled trust in his clients from C-level to individual contributors. While Mike successfully drove his team to uncover key values and neutralize competitors, it was always his solid relationships that were the key factor in closing business. I highly recommend Mike's leadership skills and passion to succeed.
