"One of the most technically forward-thinking individuals I've encountered."

As a member of Mike's team for two years, I had the privilege of witnessing his inspiring leadership firsthand. Mike not only listens to ideas but also implements critique methods that foster confidence and yield positive outcomes for all involved. His decisive action toward completing the big picture is outstanding, and he handles the organization of details with finesse akin to fine art. Continuously exploring new methods of delivering marketing and brand messaging, Mike stands out as one of the most technically forward-thinking individuals I've encountered. Working with him has been an invaluable experience, and I do not doubt of his ability to excel in any environment.

"My experiences with him were always first class."

Mike is highly talented in the art of experience and applying that to marketing and brand building. In my time working with Mike my experiences with him were always first class. He is diligent, strategic and process orientated. He is capable of building from scratch or enhancing what's already there. Mikes versatility expanded many aspects of the business where he drove improvements in customer, supplier and employee experience.

"One of those rare unicorns with talents across various disciplines."

Mike is one of those rare "unicorn"s with talents across various disciplines. His attitude and approach is all about collaboration, experience and positivity. There is little he isn't able to accomplish once he takes on the challenge. This is the foundation of why he is a valued partner, leader and team member. His focus is on execution and quality. It has been a pleasure to work with him and experience the creativity of his efforts. Yet, it will continue to be a pleasure to see him continue to drive results wherever he is focused.

"One of the most thoughtful individuals I've come across."

I had the pleasure of working with Mike Mayo during his time at EVOTEK and can firmly say he is one of the most thoughtful individuals I've come across, both in his relationships and work. As a leader, Mike is extremely empathetic and encouraging. He was the one everyone came to for help, as he was never too busy to lend a hand. Mike is able to zoom out and see the big picture while simultaneously honing into the finer details. He has a natural ability of bringing people together and fine tuning processes to fit the needs of those involved.

"Mike listens more than he talks, which is his superpower."

I had the pleasure to work with Mike Mayo for 3 years and he is one of the most creative, talented, and engaging leaders I have ever worked with. Mike listens more than he talks which is his superpower. He would listen to everything you would say and then he would come back and share his creation or idea. This made his internal stakeholders feel supported and important. His role in making the culture what it was has a lot to do with Mike's demeanor and willingness to let go of his attachment to his ego and put others in front of his own. He is extremely balanced in representing all of his internal stakeholders which was difficult at times but always engaged people in a professional demeanor so when the answer was no he would explain why. He would always preface his conversation with his intent and transparency which made collaboration with him fun. His ability to manage multiple tasks through others instilled confidence in the organization. This helped us move from where we were to where we wanted to go. Any organization that has Mike is super lucky to have him.

"Not only an incredible leader and boss, but a mentor as well."

I was lucky enough to work for Mike during our time at EVOTEK together. He was not only an incredible leader and boss, but a mentor as well. He excels in all things marketing from digital to events, but also in creating an unforgettable experience for his colleagues, customers, partners, and beyond. Mike sees the bigger picture and can make it easily accessible for everyone involved. He can organize any system or situation through initiation of procedures and roadmaps. His patience and empathy endears him to all he meets. I think it's safe to say that Mike brought out the best of each of us on the marketing team. It was a pleasure working with him and know he will continue to be a changemaker and visionary wherever he goes.

"Mike is unflappable regardless of the challenge."

I had the delightful experience of working along side with Mike during at EVOTEK. Mike is an incredibly motivated partner to the sales organization who approached building offerings, programs, process and events with skill and a strong orientation towards results and analytics. Mike is unflappable regardless of the challenge and he approached every engagement with charm and creativity.

"He made everyone around him better."

I had the pleasure of working with Mike while I was the President of EVOTEK. Mike came into the organization full of brilliant ideas of how an integrated, modern marketing team should work; and how a fully ingrained marking group would transform the experience for customers, partners, and employees. He spoke about "the experience" as the manifestation of all the company's attributes, unique differentiators, people, and offerings. Hence, the "Vice President of Experience" was born. As a colleague, he was an amazing sounding board because of his unique way of looking, seeing, and hearing others' ideas. He made everyone around him better, just by actively participating with his point of view. From a technical perspective, integrating and automating our systems was like nothing I have ever seen. I expect Mike's career to continue to accelerate as the value he provides is astounding for a growth organization.

"This trifecta of abilities places Mike in my 1% of talent."

I had the pleasure of working with Mike for 4 wonderful years. Mike brings a humble consultative approach to everything he does. His ability to listen to not only information but emotions I have found to be truly unique. Coupled with his mad talent to ideate, create, challenge, brainstorm, swarm, build and enable all with consensus further separates Mike from others. Finally, Mike's ability to make others comfortable around him is unparalleled. He makes all situations, engagements and interactions feel like home.

This trifecta of abilities places Mike in my 1% of talent and it would be wonderful and an honor to work with Mike again in any capacity.
