"I have known and worked with Mike for approximately two years. He worked as a Senior Development Manager on a product that we were co-developing. It was actually Mike who reached out to me to learn more about a self-healing paint that I was developing for the Marine Corps. Mike had identified our paint as a growth market for microcapsules. He made a clear and convincing case for how he would be able to bring our experimental technology to the market. Our partnership could have hardly gone more smoothly. Mike was able to quickly negotiate a contract with my employer, build a team and manage a healthy, cooperative relationship between our two companies throughout the development process. In about a year, his team demonstrated that our product could be produced at the pilot scale and beyond at an economically viable cost point. I regard the transition of my technology to Mike's team as one of the biggest achievements of my career. It would not have happened without him. He deserves the credit for identifying my technology in the first place   and for ensuring that both of our teams worked in mutual interest. He has the people skills, management experience and market insight to shepherd new technologies to the marketplace. In my business, we usually refer to these intermediate levels of technology maturity as "the valley of death", and Mike is the person you want with you when you take that journey."
