Vice President in Banking Sector
Working with Mike was a tremendous opportunity and highlight of my professional and personal growth. He gave me the opportunity to learn from his example and also challenged me to grow and learn through Socratic methods as well as diverse literature that ranged from leadership to the psychology of decision making. Mike is a mentor, and friend.

Mike is an exceptional leader and mentor and has been instrumental in my career growth. He continues to model for me the difference between a manager and a servant leader. At a time in my career when I needed a compassionate leader who understood and cared about my career goals and aspirations, as well as my personal life, he was my sounding board. His mentoring approach and inquisitive engagement helped me to learn how to be honest, fair, and direct without treating people as simply resources to be utilized to accomplish tasks and objectives. We developed a trust that allowed me to ask him about things one would not typically ask - like "What do you think about this opportunity I have to leave the company and do something new?" He responded not as a manager who would be losing a key employee, but as a leader interested in investing himself in my best interest. Our relationship developed beyond the professional, and I'm proud to call him a friend. We meet regularly for coffee and lunch and he continues to help me think through career and personal life choices. I highly recommend him to consult with anyone interested in learning how to be a better leader.

I've interacted with dozens of IT leaders in my 30+ years in the field, but Mike is the only one that demonstrated consistent, thoughtful, and heartfelt interest in developing the people on his team, and inspiring them to move into leadership positions themselves. Many of the people that worked alongside Mike during our time together have since transitioned into leadership positions of their own, and hopefully carrying on his legacy of mentorship and professional development.
