Mike McGlade

Passionate, dedicated, analytical, driven - Mike is a startup machine and driven to succeed. I'm quite certain I'll see an amazing startup (or two) come out of Mike's efforts.

Tasked with the opportunity of managing sales operations for BetterWorks, I had the privilege of working very closely with Mike on a daily basis. His style of leadership is transformational, being a living example of what he calls his team to strive for. When given a high-level strategy to execute on, he always devoted 110% of his time and energy to devise a tactical plan for success. Mike's entrepreneurial approach to building and directing our sales department directly resulted in propelling BetterWorks into five major markets across the country, expanding our user base into the thousands.

A team-player in all senses of the term, Mike was diligent in frequently including both associates and directors alike in the strategic planning and direction of the department, giving each person an opportunity to contribute to the overall success of the company. He is an empathetic leader who cares deeply that his team is successful, always going to bat for his people. If someone needed additional resources to be more effective, he would ensure procurement. If someone asked for a challenge or for more responsibility, Mike was always open to providing avenues for personal development and growth.

I give my fullest and sincere recommendation of Mike McGlade to anyone considering working with him. He will always show up prepared, with a smile, ready to rock and roll. His attitude and demeanor is infectious and he is a joy to work with. I would quickly relish the opportunity to work with Mike in the future should our paths cross again. I'm happy to provide specific examples to those who would like more detail on how Mike is a rockstar.
