“I first met Mike in 1999 while he was General Counsel at Willow CSN… a key outsourcing partner for the Home Shopping Network. Mike instantly struck me as incredibly bright, strategic, and forward thinking. It was also clear that Mike was one of those rare attorneys that spent more time thinking about business opportunities, growth, and shareholder value creation vs. simply applying the law to business problems.

Later in our relationship, Mike and I co-led Willow through a very challenging transition period (Mike as General Counsel and me as Interim CEO). Mike was incredibly supportive, guiding, and strategic during that period… ensuring that the employees, shareholders, and clients landed in a good place. Upon reflection, Mike was really leading the company and I was supporting him!

Mike continues to be one of my most valued connections. On those occasions that we connect, I still learn from his insightful, nuanced understanding of the marketplace and opportunities on the horizon. Absolutely an ‘A’ player.”
