Bio
Enrico Agnoli
I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Workday, and I can say without hesitation that he was an invaluable member of the team. He has a great passion for the work he does. He helped set the pace and clarify the priorities for the team as we implemented new projects and integrated new technology like Databricks. His expertise and knowledge were instrumental in our success. Moreover, Mike was always a joy to work with. He had a great sense of humor and a kind, collaborative approach that made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. He was always willing to lend a hand or provide guidance when needed, and his positive attitude was a breath of fresh air.
