Bio
Tamara Heidkamp; LEED AP, NCIDQ
Michael was part of the strategic group at Spectrum Strategies/Harley Ellis when I interviewed for my position on the Ford Land account. He was so enthusiastic about organizational planning and working from inside business philosophy that he helped talk me into making the move from my position at GM. Michael was dedicated to ground level research helping to present why organizations need change. He has a real zest for promoting the team to work toward a collaborative goal with positive results, and a knack for drawing up the story visually for great presentations.
