1st Mark Frost, Strategic Account Manager, McAfee
worked with Michael at McAfee
“I have worked with Michael for over five years, from when our companies (CyberGuard and Webwasher) came together.
At the time, Michael was a support engineer for Webwasher, and I was becoming a Sales Engineer specifically to start working with the product line we had just acquired. Michael was instrumental in helping me get to grips with the product fast, and tirelessly resolve those inevitable issues that occur with this type of technology.
From there Michael moved up in the chain and became the Support Manager for his team. In this role he constantly helped me deliver on our promise of providing a world class solution to our customers, sometimes going beyond the levels of expectation and handling matters himself, when his understaffed team needed it most.
With his constant focus on the ins-and-outs of the product, constantly delivering beyond the current capabilities of the product with clever workarounds and complementary ideas, it was no surprise seeing him quickly take up the next role, of Product Manager. In this role Michael has achieved a balanced approach between delivering what was required, while ensuring that this was achieved in a realistic manner. He is not afraid to stick to his ground and push back, where the specific feature request will likely mean a delay in offering the technology that will have the broader use.
Aside from his carefully crafted professional skills, Michael is a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. You know where you stand, because he makes sure you understand just that.” June 5, 2010

“I really liked working with Michael. As a manager in an office far from corporate headquarters, Machael took care of a lot of things himself that would have been done by others at headquarters. He knew the customers really well and gave them what they needed. If it were not for him, we would have lost a lot of customers and the revenue that comes with them. He also took good care of his employees, who were hard working and very loyal to him.” June 19, 2008
