Bio
Ryan Parkinson
I worked with Michael for 4 years while at Provi during which we rapidly scaled the company's valuation from tens of millions to $750 million in an incredibly short period of time. Michael was critical to that growth, leading sales teams both by title and in action. His combination of business acumen and technical knowledge allowed him to develop strategies that overperformed given his available resources. As a stakeholder, Michael always had an eye for the customer and a focus on maximizing impact. He is organized, driven, and collaborative and was always driving strategy to ensure his teams would meet or exceed the company's North Star goals. I would enthusiastically agree to work with Michael again in the future.
