Testimonials
Michael is one of the most organized and proficient program managers I have ever worked with. Michael covered for me while I was out on a 7-week sabbatical and due to his diligence, he made my transition back to the office seamless. He easily took on multiple projects, working across several different teams to keep everything on track and on time.
