Colleagues describe him as "I am lucky and privileged to have worked with Michael for the past two years in the Online Business Unit. Michael is a natural born leader who takes charge when he sees an opportunity. Michael never drops the ball. Not a chance. Because of Michael's management and cross-functional leadership skills, our team won the OBU Innovation and Transformational Contribution Award in 2012. There were near 30 teams who presented their projects to the Sr. Leadership, and only 4 were selected to move forward. Fast forward two and a half months, our team, under Michael's leadership, won the $25K first place prize. Michael's crisp and direct communication style, coupled with his impeccable organizational skills energized everyone on the team. We always knew the situation now, and where we are heading tomorrow. When times became challenging, it was Michael's character that instilled confidence and kept the team going. Michael is a rare high-potential that will grow into an effective executive soon (sooner than most). Michael has a rare ability to provide both, strategic thought leadership and the execution plans on how to get there. Anyone who interacted with Michael knows, this is a "high-caliber" manager who will drive results in any situation. I respect, admire, and endorse Michael with highest regard." and "Michael worked directly for me for the last year+, and was actually recommended to me by by several of his peers to replace them as they moved on to new roles. Michael's key strength is using data to solve business problems, in the real world; not only understanding the numbers - but the actions required to improve performance. Michael has been one of my key team members; and our team would not have been successful with out his analysis, input, recommendations, and actions. I have trusted his insights, and his ability to make the connection to what is right for our business. I would highly recommend him for any opportunity he pursues."
