Michael is a one of the best people managers that I worked with. He is a true IT sourcing professional with a sharp business mindset, very creative , great in building and maintaining relationships. He is not afraid to deal with uncertainties, open to change, adaptable, ready to step out of his comfort zone. He is a precious asset for any team willing to give and receive in the same time. As manager is always a pleasure to work with such talented professionals and I would hire Michael again as rarely you find such reliable team contributor.

Michael clearly stands out as a visionary leader, when it is matter of IT Sourcing, which needs a different leadership mindset beyond traditional sourcing. ... responsible for multi-billion-dollar Technology Sourcing portfolio ... he clearly understands strategy, organisation and execution model that is needed to deliver today’s demand for technology (IT hardware, software, and services) sourcing, when it is straddling among internal use, OEM / product portfolio and local customer projects. His clarity on solutions vs category dimension in the context of IT Sourcing is quite remarkable... an organisation that worked out of 3 continents and consisted of more than 20 nationalities.

Michael is one of the few people I have met who has vision and the ability to define the associated strategic actions to execute upon. As a leader he functions well at all levels of the organisation and adapts his style and message to suit the individual. Michael provides others with clear direction, sets appropriate standards of behaviour and delegates work appropriately. He provides his staff with development opportunity and coaching. It’s a pleasure to work with Michael!

Michael is a great contributor. I would describe him with three words; professional, efficient and brave. He is a true “out-of-the-box”-thinker, brave in challenging the “as-is”, but still basing decision on true business meaning parameters. I have had the honour to work with Michael off and on for many years and it’s always been a pleasure reconnecting with him. Michael is a true source for positive energy.
