In the time I worked under Michael Wilson in Research & Development at Optiv, he proved to have the rare combination of exceptional technical skill and strong, thoughtful leadership. There are few individuals one can expect to come across during the course of their career with the talent and personality he exhibits. Michael created an environment where subordinates felt comfortable approaching him about any problems; no topics were off-limits, and open communication was encouraged. Because he consciously fostered a respectful workplace dynamic, mutual respect was felt throughout the team, and we were able to maintain morale and productivity even during otherwise challenging times. Our tech stack included a wide array of languages and other technologies, but Michael always made certain everyone had the opportunity to learn and understand what they would be working on before diving head-first into implementation. Using regular team hackathons, Michael was able to encourage us all to explore new technologies and ideas while creating work of demonstrable business value. I’m honored and proud to have worked with and for Michael Wilson and would confidently recommend him.
