“Michael is a global class human that professionally leads with candor and compassion. I have the luck to have interacted with Michael as industry colleagues and I have learned from him every time we talked. Michael leads with humility but with abundance of facts that come from his research guided by his inner passion to learn everyday a little bit more about Marketing Technology. This is one of his passions and he is a referent in the industry. He is a progressive marketer with a vision years ahead of the industry but with the practicality of making the most of what is possible today. He is an asset to any organization that has the privilege to recruit him. I strongly recommend him.”
