TESTIMONIALS
"From the first day on the Guardium project, Michael showed a personal commitment for success. He spent time understanding the technology, structuring the delivery to achieve very aggressive timelines and led the team from the front every day. I particularly liked his leadership style - very calm and firm, agile and pragmatic to moving targets and focused on building the right relationships and team to get results. He is also a very pleasant person to have in the team and that attracts a team around him. I would highly recommend Michael for future projects".
