Michael and I started at Fluence in the same position on the same day and I instantly knew that Michael was destined for great things. Michael's intuition and situational awareness has led to strong relationships with his customers and his colleagues. He provides a calm in difficult situations and energy when their is a lull. I am grateful to work with Michael who knows when to challenge the status quo and elevate his colleagues to win deals.
