Mike Hurt is a Business Development at Hedera Foundation. He possess expertise in amazon web services, business analytics, mobile applications, digital media, analytics and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working under Mike for nearly a decade. During that period he transformed me from a junior manager to an emerging executive leader. Mike taught me how to build strategic relationships at the highest levels, how to level up my sales skills and how to think bigger about my personal and professional development. Mike is results driven and continually sprinted towards whatever objectives the company had laid out for him. We won way more than we lost in no small part to his leadership and unique way of thinking. At the same time, Mike repeatedly showed a level of empathy and compassion for his those around him that is not often found at the senior level. Mike not only transformed me, but the entire Seattle office. The entire office looked to him as the local CEO even though many of the team members were not part of his division. Mike has an immediate presence that raises the bar in whatever room he is in. Mike is world class. I hope others have the opportunity to learn a tenth of what I learned from him. I owe a large portion of my future success to the guidance and teaching I received during the many years I was fortunate to work for him. " and "Mike was comScore's first real leader in its Seattle office. And by this I mean, in 2007 he took charge of about 20 ambitious people with disparate backgrounds, experiences, agendas, and aspirations, and, over time, welded them, first, into a coherent team, with unified goals and accountability; and secondly, grew that successful team to over 70 professionals, before extending his responsibilities to a sizable San Francisco office as well. To accomplish all this, Mike deployed exceptional analytical, managerial, and leadership skills in widely diverse areas, from basic client development and revenue planning- tracking, to productivity coaching, systematic employee evaluations, and conceptual brain-storming on strategy. He deftly combined an always open door policy, with a graceful 'light touch' and just the necessary degree of discipline, guiding the team to its targets, quarter after quarter. Taken together, Mike is probably the single most effective manager I have encountered during my career. And also, he's my friend, too."
