Michael Tanner is a President at Trani. He possess expertise in voip, ip, wireless, telecommunications, network engineering and 42 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Engineering leadership is more than problem-solving. It’s about the willingness to dive into unfamiliar territory and to try new things, then having the grit and determination to work through the many obstacles you encounter along the way to accomplishing your goals. In short, it takes adaptability, creativity, and passion for being an effective leader. Mike demonstrated each of these skills and more as a contractor and then as a full-time employee at the Auto Care Association. As Department head, I’ve found Mike equally effective as a sole contributor and team player. As a team player, he’s capable of taking both leadership and support roles within a group of peers or subordinates. Mike listens and communicates effectively, helping the team critically examine their work while systematically driving towards their objectives. In addition to drawing on his considerable education and work experience as a solo contributor, Mike extends his reach by identifying and engaging critical resources outside the organization as independent collaborators seeking a common objective. Mike has proven to be an exceptional engineer, project leader, industry thought leader, and trusted counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any challenging assignment where his unique blend of technical and interpersonal skills is required." and "Working for Michael provided me with many rewarding experiences. His leadership and technical breadth were instrumental in the successful launch of many challenging and technical projects. Under his management we were able to produce industry first VoIP based calls utilizing satellite communications. His skills managing the difficult aspects of maintaining communication and coordination between diverse groups to meet objectives in a fast paced and completive environment made the difference in our success. Working for Michael enabled some of my most rewarding professional achievements."
