Mike demonstrates comprehensive knowledge across multiple technical subject areas as well as in-depth knowledge in the areas of Billing, Finance and Accounting. Mike quickly emerged as a leader in my team, based on his ability to investigate and resolve customer questions and issue in a prompt manner. In his role, Mike evolved into a subject matter expert and was promoted in a senior position in less than one year. He is a fantastic asset to any organization.
