He is able to apply solid judgement to business decisions, where understanding of financial practices and impacts are key drivers for the direction taken. In addition, Mike is able to effectively model, and provide recommendations, on business opportunities that arise on an ongoing basis. One of Mike's most outstanding attributes is his approach towards cross-functional collaboration. He makes a strong effort to understand the business environment, and challenges, for each of his key organizational partners.

This linkage led to a number of operational improvements across our teams, including better alignment in our monthly and annual forecasting and business management processes. Mike is a well respected executive leader. His business and financial insights are highly valued within our division Leadership Teams. Mike is also very collaborative and likeable, and employees in all part of the organization enjoy working with him.", "I have had the pleasure of working with Mike in his role as controller for the business we were responsible for. As a peer, Mike has been great to work with. His analytical skills are top notch and I found his depth and understanding of the business has been excellent. While not an expert in the other functional areas, his outstanding knowledge and keen business sense enabled him to probe and ask tough questions when digging into the performance of the business. He clearly expected other functional managers to understand their area of responsibility and be able to explain their group’s individual performance so that the whole performance for the business could be explained in a logical manner and that any deviations to the business plans could be identified and corrected in the near term. As a business we were in the unique position of being able to pursue nontraditional opportunities and Mike was already ready with a well articulated financial perspective which enabled us to examine an opportunity despite its unusual nature. He was also very good at staying connected with what was going on in the larger company so that we could understand the ebbs and flows in the way the company was performing and anticipate the impact on our business. I have had the good fortune to work with many excellent controllers and Mike fit in really well with them. He would be a great asset to any team.", and "Michael is not only an outstanding finance professional with excellent functional knowledge, he is also a well-rounded business manager who always keeps the entire business in mind. He brings a balanced perspective and the ability to broker between different functional groups. I have truly enjoyed working with Michael."
