Bio
Mustafa Farah
Mike is the go-to person for conflict resolution and problem solving; when issues arise that need to be escalate. Working with him during my time as an intern with Shutterfly has helped me grow as a leader and has helped me develop my technical skills. He is the one that steps in to diffuse tense situations and induce compromise when needed. Though he’s never one to draw attention to himself, Mike’s positive attitude and the respect others feel toward him is unmatched.
Sarah Chacos
Mike was always the hands on manager you could rely on to deliver, even during peak season. As an intern, I entered the print industry with no experience, but Mike acted as an excellent manager and mentor during my time with Shutterfly. Mike gave me the freedom to manage and learn the ins and outs of the digital print world and I owe a lot of my management experience to his leadership.
