Paul Burns

Michael and I worked together on the scoping and product design of a risk management tool within the dairy industry. Michael's attention to detail, project management expertise and understanding of primary industries enabled us to rapidly get to an outcome. Michaels endless energy and passionate approach made him stand out during this project where he facilitated the delivery against a short timetable. Michael is a good team player that I recommend working with.
