I have worked with 13 different consumer finances companies and across multiple subprime product categories.

Mike's super-insightful. I approached the conversation with specific questions to ask. Mike not only answered the questions but the information he provided also added dimensions that forced me to rethink the questions and the problem.

Mike was a pleasure to work with and I was sad to see him leave. His energy, motivation, and focus are missed. During the brief time we worked together I found him to be an engaged colleague full of boundless ideas, a competent teacher, and talented modeler. I happily recommend Mike and know he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do.

Mike and I worked on different teams, but I consulted with him on several occasions as a colleague whose thoughts I deeply respected.

Mike has great intuition around how economic and/or business changes will manifest themselves in customer behavior. This intuition allows him to quickly get to the heart of any problem and narrow it down to the one or two key hypotheses that will most likely yield insightful results.

Combined with his easygoing personality, these skills makes Mike not just a great analyst, but a great colleague to consult whenever faced with a challenging problem.

Is current on the new, algorithmic and computationally intensive approaches. Rapidly and deeply understand the entire business context. Speaks with authenticity, conviction, and influence with diverse coworkers, up, down, and across the organization. Is absolutely trustworthy to deliver what is really needed, including the full socialization needed to make the technical approach practical and useful. Fun to be with too.
