Michael Fox is a Strategic Program and People Leader – Engineering/Capital Program/Energy Efficiency/Design Expert. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure of knowing Michael, a fellow Georgia Tech graduate, for over ten years, both as co-worker at Grumman Butkus Associates (GBA) and as a client during his time at Walgreens. While at GBA, Michael was an exceptional mechanical design engineer, with great attention to detail, and an effective project manager. He was an excellent representative of our firm in front of clients. Always striving for innovation, Michael was one of the key contributors in helping GBA transition from 2-dimensional CAD drafting to Revit. He was a wonderful mentor to younger engineers. Michael was a pleasure to have in our office. His big contagious smile, easy friendly demeanor and willingness to jump in and help in whatever was needed, was greatly missed when he left. Shortly after we lost Michael as a coworker, we started working again with him as a client as he made the decision to move over from consulting engineering to the corporate side of engineering. Not only did he adjust easily into his new role, but he also thrived. Having worked closely with Michael the last few years, I was able to witness first-hand how much ground he has been covering while at Walgreens. As part of the engineering team leadership, he has been involved in all aspects of real estate, design, construction, equipment operation, energy efficiency and troubleshooting-just to name a few aspects of his work- on a massive, national scale. He always looks for ways to improve any “process” he is involved in. During the supply chain crisis, Michael led the “automation” of the HVAC equipment purchasing, by standardizing the equipment size by geographic location and energy code zone. Michael is a clear headed, analytical thinker. He works methodically through issues and seeks consensus from his team. He has a great way to get the best out his team, in-house and consultants with his easy-going personality. He is treating everyone with respect regardless of their position and no matter how tough things get. Michael is an excellent communicator both in his writing and verbal communication. Having moved to the corporate environment, Michael has also developed to a strong public speaker. Michael is an exceptional engineering manager and leader, a person of high integrity and a genuinely nice guy. I recommend him unconditionally for any position he believes he can contribute to.", "Over my time at Walgreens, I have been afforded the privilege of working on a team led by Michael Fox. Michael is an exceptionally talented engineer and people leader who truly cares about his team and corporate mission. Michael is a detail oriented subject matter expert who can seamlessly manage multidisciplinary efforts for a diverse and demanding group of stakeholders. His strong communication skills partner with a calm and kind demeanor which allow him to motivate his team and collaborate cross functionally to achieve goals in high-pressure and challenging situations. Michael is a model leader and skilled professional who utilizes his diverse background for the greater benefit of his team and organization. He values collaboration, builds meaningful connections and acts as a teacher and mentor for those who work with him. Any team would be fortunate to have Michael as an expert and leader.", and "I had the pleasure of working with Michael during his time at Walgreens, where he consistently impressed me with his dedication and professionalism. As his supervisor, I can confidently say that Michael is an exceptional employee who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results. Michael’s strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to effectively manage projects and people set him apart in his role as Senior Manager of Engineering. He tackled challenges with enthusiasm and always approached tasks with a positive attitude, inspiring those around him to strive for excellence. One of Michael’s greatest strengths is his exceptional communication skills, which allowed him to effectively collaborate with team members and stakeholders at all levels. He demonstrated strong leadership qualities and was able to motivate his team to achieve their goals, even in high-pressure and very complex situations. I highly recommend him for any role that values professionalism, dedication, and a strong work ethic. He would be a valuable asset to any organization."
