Mike Eyerly possesses expertise in medical devices, cross functional team leadership, product development, design control, r&d and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "It is my pleasure to recommend Mike Eyerly for mechanical engineering or operational leadership roles. Mike and I were functional partners for over four years and I was impressed with his business acumen and devotion to customer focus, which often resulted in him taking on leadership opportunities that were outside his responsibilities. An example of the initiative that Mike showed was the creation of the Sales District Partnership program. Because of his passion for understanding how our products impact our customers, Mike initiated the design and implementation of this program to help his product development peers gain greater visibility into what really happens in the field. The goal of this innovative Sales District Partnership program was to provide direct visibility to the field by connecting engineering leaders in product development with sales districts. Mike worked with the sales organization leadership team to create buy-in and identify district sales managers that were willing to have leaders in product development visit their district on a regular basis. The program was so successful that Mike expanded his personal involvement to support an entire region. He also began fielding requests to join the program from outside product development. Mike shared experiences from his sales district with the organization by inviting clinicians to all-employee meetings allowing everyone in the organization to hear about challenges first hand. Mike’s involvement with this program went above and beyond his responsibilities as a functional leader within product development. On a personal note, I appreciated Mike’s willingness to allow me to visit his sales district last fall where we met with 15 clinicians in a 4 day period." and "I have worked for Mike for the last eight years and highly recommend him as a Technical Leader and motivator. Mike became the leader of our group when we were having problems delivering mechanical designs that were manufacturable and met the reliability goals on time. Mike came in with a vision to turn our organization around and address these issues. Mike worked with the organization to develop and implement the strategies to make his vision a reality. In particular, Mike got to know all of his employees and coached / developed them to make his vision happen. On a personal note, under Mike’s coaching and mentorship, I developed the interpersonal skills that helped me get the roles that I wanted, but previously did not have the skills or reputation to fill."
