Colleagues describe him as "I worked as a Sr. IT Auditor under Mike's supervision for 2 1/2 years from May 2010 to Dec 2012. During the 2 1/2 years, I not only improved my IT Audit skills, but also improved my skills in client relationships. Mike has a wealth of knowledge in IT Audit. His knowledge and experience led to better audits and improved relationships with clients as Mike was able to discuss controls with the clients without having to defer answers or having to look up the appropriate regulatory requirements. This applied as well to SSAE16 or SOC2 audits where Mike consulted with clients on how to write or improve the wording of their management assertion of controls. Mike has the ability to stay calm during stressful situations. There were a couple of times that came in handy when talking to clients about control weaknesses and getting yelled at by the IT staff. Mike would simple lay out the facts, ask if there was something to show the conclusion was wrong, and if not, talk to the client about mitigating controls to lower the risk of a control not working properly. This approach would lead to constructive results that benefited the client. Mike was a great mentor and took my IT Audit skills to the next level. His mentoring enabled me to apply my previous experience in IT Security to ask the right questions when discussing the control environment with clients. This resulted in better audit results and if there were any control weaknesses, I was able to provide recommendations to the client that were smart and reasonable. I enjoyed my time working under Mike's supervision. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. " and "Mike co-led the Advisory group prior to his departure with great leadership skills. A very detailed, organized and technical person in his area of expertise. He was a great coach who took pride in developing his team both professionally and personally. I will recommend Mike with no hesistation."
