"I truly enjoy helping entrepreneurs develop unique strategies in highly dynamic, fast-paced, ever-changing markets. My passion for strategy was developed during the key years I spent in the middle of the intense browser wars of the mid-90's, where I learned that start-up success and failure was based on the strategic paths chosen" "Mike is a great supporter of ZoomInfo and has made invaluable introductions with people and companies who can help us accomplish our goals. Since Mike joined the Zoom board, he has become one of its more active members, consistently driving certain strategic objectives and helping the board look at the big picture.

Mike is very instrumental in the recruiting process of executives, both in selling them on the opportunity as well as doing background checks through his network."
