It was a pleasure working and collaborating with Michael Ray during my time in EvolveNXT. Michael is outstanding in his field, easy to work with and provides excellent service to his clients. In addition to his excellent core skills of project management/business analysis, Michael exhibited a high level of understanding of (CMS and HIPAA) compliance and healthcare Insurance commissions which was unmatched amongst his peers. He is a goal-oriented individual who shows great attention to detail. Michael Ray is dedicated, self-motivated, methodical, and very capable. An excellent listener as well as a team player. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any position.
