Colleagues describe him as "Mike is the kind of Product Manager that we all strive to be. He is a deep thinker, highly analytic, and puts the customer at the forefront of all he does. When a perplexing problem needs to be solved, Mike is the go-to person to get the job done. I have worked with Mike as both a peer and a manager, and I can say without a doubt that he brings an extremely high level of value to any team he is on. He is well respected by his co-workers and is looked to as a leader, especially in cross-functional roles." and "I’ve worked with Mike on a number of projects. These projects brought new functionality into the product line and created a new addition to the Product Roadmap. As you can guess, these projects required Mike to closely interact with the User community to understand their needs (which changed weekly) and required tight collaboration with the development team to ensure they understood the needs of the user. He pushed for working functionality throughout the project which ensured that what was finally delivered met the shifting needs of the user. Mike deftly managed the conflicting priorities of people and time-to-market. I highly recommend Mike."
