His experience with both big data and software development helped to develop new products and innovative features that define a true competitive advantage. On a personal level, Michael genuinely listens and his enthusiasm and optimism allows him to get a strong consensus--especially on tough projects. His capacity to thoroughly think through complex problems, come up with clear diagnoses, and diligently apply solutions in the face of intense pressure is impressive. Michael’s attention to detail and ability to adapt to changes in a wide variety of situations would be an asset to any company.”

Philippe Taillefer, Director, Insights, Terapeak
“I have had the great fortune of working with Michael for the last year at Terapeak. Michael is an outstanding relationship manager, and an inspiring leader. His ability develop a simple concept into a full-fledged, robust deliverable and masterfully mediating timelines and priorities are just a couple of examples of the skills I most I admire in him.”
Marco Alvarez, International Program Manager, Terapeak
“If I'm developing a product, I want Michael on my team. He is always ahead of the curve where technology trends are concerned and has an adept ability to see the direction consumer demand is heading. Michael is an excellent bridge between various stakeholders in a company. As a software developer, I could speak to Michael in an open and honest way without having to simplify the technological issues. He was excellent at then managing those issues and relaying them back to other managers or customers in a way that all parties could easily follow and make well informed decisions on. I worked with Michael both when he was a Project Manager at BC Ferries and then at Terapeak where he was Director of Partner Projects and would happily work with him again, any time.”
