Top 1% I’ve ever worked with. I worked with Mike for over 3 years very closely at Fortify. He has a rare combination of deep product, customer and user understanding along with excellent security domain knowledge. I could always count on Mike to support me and my engineering team.

I had the great pleasure of working with Mike at General Electric. I was absolutely impressed with Mike’s work ethic and his superb analytical and engineering skills. He created some of the best security engineering solutions I have seen in my entire career. Likewise, Mike is a masterful and diplomatic professional who shows great concern for his coworkers. Overall, it was great to work with Mike nad I hope I have a chance to do so again.
