I had a chance to work with Mike for a while and it was my honor as one of his team member who Mike was its manager. He was such a cool and talented manager who could cope with issues in any circumstances. He was one my best mangers that I've ever had. He is dedicated and committed to his responsibilities. The way he mentors, I have nothing to say except that he is perfect. I wish I could work with him in another environment once more.

Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a Team player, Technically hands-on and a good mentor—but I did when I worked with Mike. Any employee would be lucky to have Mike as a manager.

Lei Chen

Michael was my manager for over two years at Worldpay, where his leadership, communication, hands-on experience and support always motivated our team. And we all know that no matter what blocks we had encountered, Michael would always be there listening to us, motivating us, guiding us and backing us up. He had been clearly interested in helping us grow as a team as well as individuals. Overall, Michael was one of the best managers I’ve ever had, and I know he would be an excellent addition to any company.
