Bio

Mike is incredibly talented at leading large organizations. I had the pleasure of working with him on several projects. I saw firsthand how he brought together disparate stakeholders and found a path forward. He also has a keen eye for which opportunities to pursue and which to let mature. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

Mike is a superb strategist! He was a valued partner and mentor when I transitioned into the defense industry. He has a keen ability to anticipate and identify emerging opportunities before others see them. Mike leads diverse groups in collaboration, developing consensus, and team-building. Communications, cyber domain, electro-magnetic spectrum, joint warfighting integration...just a few of his areas of expertise. If you're expanding your business with DoD, Mike's your guy!
