As a buyer at Walmart and then manager of many brands for Walmart, I have never worked with a Salesperson at any level as good as Michael. His awareness of his audience, knowing what to say and when to say it, his work ethic, his emotional intelligence, salesmanship, speaking ability, and overall management skills are literally unmatched. He understands everything he works on at the highest level but also learns the details faster than anyone. There is absolutely no one I could give a higher recommendation to for a VP position than Michael. On top of all that, he’s a really good person and product developer.

Michael is a well respected and trusted sales and product marketing leader within the industry. His ability to prioritize customers and their needs is second-to-none, along with having a keen ability to build long-standing and strategic partnerships that equate to success for his customers, suppliers, and the individuals that he works with and leads on a daily basis. Michael has a strong bias for action and consistently delivers results, while maintaining a passion for coaching and developing others with adept leadership and guidance. After over a decade of doing business together in various capacities, he continues to approach every opportunity with a high level of enthusiasm, focus, flexibility and humbleness, that makes it a pleasure and a privilege to work with him. Any company would be fortunate to have Michael helping to lead and grow their organization, and he earns my highest recommendation.

I don’t have enough room here for the recommendation that Mike deserves. Having worked together for over 10 years, I can easily say that Mike is the most get-his-hands-dirty, take action leader that I have had the pleasure to work with. Raptic’s success is the direct result of Mike’s expertise in all aspects of retailer business development. Mike’s skill led to direct placement at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Meijer, T-Mobile, and Verizon - just to name some of his successes in the US. Mike led the development of a fast growing, double digit million dollar e-commerce effort and holds extensive knowledge in all aspects of e-commerce management including Amazon Seller Central expertise. Mike is an experienced manager with the proven ability to recruit and lead teams to take on all manner of challenges. 10 years seems like a long time but it doesn’t feel like it. We accomplished a lot together and I know the best is yet to come for Mike.
