“I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Mike while at Rackspace over the course of 2015. As members of the online sales team we worked closely on ways to drive leads to the company, engage those leads and get sales closed. His many years of experience at the company were invaluable to me when I joined as he helped me to quickly assimilate into the unique Racker culture. The team that Mike led was a diverse group of individuals with varying levels of experience. Yet, he was an even-keeled leader that took the time to understand their needs, set focused and smart goals, and engaged at all stages of the sales process to support them in a meaningful way. I was able to experience this first hand as we worked in very close proximity. His team appreciated his approach and consistently delivered results based on the commitment and drive that he fostered. As I ran the eCommerce portion of Rackspace's business, Mike came to be a trusted resource for me as it related to people within the organization, historical context of programs that had been done in the past, and the overall direction of the company. He was professional, insightful, and dedicated. To this day, I still reference Mike's work ethic and ability to inspire team members. I would add Mike to my team any time in the future and consider him broadly for opportunities related to operations, divisional leadership, and business development. He has a knack for understanding core issues, working through problems, and delivering solutions that are well thought out and actionable. This rare combination of skills is extremely valuable to an organization. I truly miss working around him on a daily basis.”
