Bio
Steve Mickaiel
Mike is an exceptional manager and a great guy. To put it bluntly " He is simply the best and better than all the rest!"
LinkedIn User
Mike is someone that has a unique blend of operational and business acumen. He was an asset at Sunbeam because he could easily re-engineer a technical process using techniques such as six sigma, whilst at the same time consider how this would fit into the bigger organisational picture, therefore able to quantify the benefits to the customer and the savings to the organisation. Mike did this many times and was able to provide a wide range of documents from executive summary to an implementation project plan.
