Michael Eason is a CTO Emeritus. Colleagues describe them as "Mike was a strong asset to our company and I've missed his calm, measured, kind, people-first approach. He's an easy conversationalist with a strong knowledge of general management and leadership philosophies, both rare in an IT professional. Mike can explain IT "mysteries" in ways that make sense to a lay-person.
I especially appreciated that he was working remotely for much of his time at Inteleos. I manage a full-time reomte team, and his actual experience helped to improve the technology tools and harward we were provided, as well as the way our team works (as opposed to the guidnace we've received before from those without remote experience who would tell us how it's "supposed to work" without recognizing the realities of how it really does work.)
" and "Sure, Mike Eason has all the skills you'd expect from an experienced information and technology manager...plus some surprising qualities that go beyond "the norm." Mike's always up to date with the latest hardware and software, and he knows how to apply that knowledge effectively and efficiently. He's a tested manager of teams and individuals in the tech sector...and he's passed that test, over and over, with flying colors. So far, no surprises. When I first started met Mike (in my dual roles as an outside management consultant working with ARDMS and its now-parent company Inteleos, and as an executive coach working with Mike as a client), I recognized right away that he didn't fit the Typical CIO or CTO mold. First, he was up to date with the latest management texts on leadership, and he'd taught leadership courses. Hmm. Second, he quickly stated his scandalous philosophy: "The People are always more important than the Technology." Hmm!! Mike blends his intimate knowledge of what makes people tick with his intimate knowledge of what makes technology hum. He's as close to a "Renaissance Man" as I've met in the world of high-tech. A great guy and a great hire."
