I had the pleasure to work with Michael over the last three and a half years. Michael is a very skilled leader, with the capability to manage people and processes in a variety of areas. I found Michael always willing to work across functional boundaries to best serve the customer. Michael would routinely to take on more responsibility in order to fill organizational gaps, and do an excellent job. Michael, was a key player in an organizational turn around. As Inventory Leader, he was able to put key metrics, and continue to improve inventory turns quarter over quarter. Michael was also looked to as a Leader in his current organization and provided excellent coaching and mentorship to some of the less experienced team members.
