Mike is a unique and powerful combination of teacher, connector and leader. As the co-organizer of the Social Good for Profit meetup, he's adept at identifying incredible presenters, moving the conversation forward with insightful questions, utilizing new tools, and connecting attendees with the right people and resources to bring their business ideas to the next level. Mike doesn't hesitate to take action when he sees an new opportunity to provide value to the community. As an entrepreneur, a skillshare teacher, a panelist, a board member or a meetup organizer, Mike makes moves to give back and expand his network at lightening speed.

Source: LinkedIn Aaron Gibralter Jan 1, 2013Michael has been instrumental in the new development of the WAYN website at a very important transition of the business - Michael has an extremely good understanding of viral marketing and Customer Experience - these very rare skills not only allowed us to review the ways in which we think about user engagement but also helped us to increase the website traffic significantly, from 5m visits one year ago to over 22m today.
Michael is a visionary and understands Social Media like very few people in this industry do. I Would recommend Michael with no hesitation and feel honoured to have worked along his side.

I worked closely with Michael on developing multichannel campaigns on WAYN.com platform. His strong commitment, detail oriented approach and a perfect understanding of online media environment has helped to create successful strategies which led to a high traffic increase and conversion which were the main goals. He's a professional individual and on top of this a great colleague. It will be a pleasure to work again with Mike.
Source: LinkedIn Lidia Przybyslawska Jan 1, 2013Michael has an great eye for detail and for spotting upcoming new business opportunities. He is easy to work with and provides a sense of security for the whole team at Badoo.
Source: LinkedIn Utama Rhodes Jan 1, 2013I have the pleasure of being a fellow founding member of the now 14 million user strong Badoo network. Over the last 3 and a half years, I have been particularly impressed by Mike's talent for leading highly complex and multi-market projects and completing them successfully and under tight time constraints. His unique abilities allow him to excel at everything from selling senior executives on an innovative idea to having the technical knowledge to lead our talented engineers in making the idea a reality.
Source: LinkedIn Gloria Diez Jan 1, 2013It is an understatement to say that it was a real pleasure to work with Mike, as he's has been one outstanding colleague. His bright, focused and Resilient personality was truly infectious, when we had the opportunity to collaborate on several Global projects over the past year. As I am more concentrated, of course, on the Italian market, it was refreshing and invaluable to have someone who understands the Western European marketplace and able to use that to develop a clear strategy and steer each project in the most mutually beneficial direction.
Source: LinkedIn David Francesconi Jan 1, 2013Mike is an innovative thinker with a steady and even-keeled approach to business. It was a pleasure to work with him.
