Bio
Gail Sargeant
I have known and worked with Mike for many years across a number of different technology companies. Mike is a very talented leader with a superb management style which encourages and brings out the best in all the staff he works with. He is a great listener and genuinely cares about the whole team. Mike's reputation with customers, partners and suppliers is 'first class' and his ability to situationally manage and lead have earned him the respect of his peers, clients and the industry he works within. Any Automotive or Technology company would be very fortunate to have him in their business.
Joe Mack
I had the pleasure of working directly for Mike for over three years at Pentana Solutions. Mike is an inspirational leader and a balanced, consistent senior executive and general manager with a complete inventory of skills and the highest level of integrity. Mike’s management style is the effective balance between; ‘people’, ‘planning’, ‘process & ‘product’. With a clear focus on ‘process and operational’ efficiency Mike’s achievements include driving performance whilst building, growing and improving the profitability and value of the overall business. He has always demonstrated sound business acumen which has allowed him to build strong relationships and business partnerships and bring value to complex enterprise deals and situations. Always positive, always learning, always on his game are some of Mike’s strengths.
