About Mike Ball

I have a strong business background that is grounded in real-world business experience. It has included team management, project management, consulting, inside and outside sales, and the development of product marketing and sales strategies both for physical hard-goods as well as software. Inclusive of my skills are the implementation of digital product building, planning, designing and integration of disparate technologies into the launch of unified revenue producing business applications. My successful efforts in these areas have resulted in significant cost savings and increases to the bottom line.I have a great understanding of multiple industries with varied business issues and have used my business aptitude and creativity towards resolving concerns and finding solutions to problems. My ability to learn and adapt quickly has enabled me to work successfully in dynamic environments and to multitask in order to meet deadlines on time.I have leveraged all the above skills to successfully fuel the entrepreneurial spirit that drives me towards success. I have an extremely comprehensive understanding of what challenges are faced by small businesses, being a small business owner myself. I use the on-going lessons continually learned in this arena to tackle issues that happen at large scale in the corporate environment.
