Michael is one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with. He coached me through something of new process for me and helped me secure the perfect role at the perfect company. He was especially adept at balancing the needs of his client (Telenav) with my needs as the candidate, resulting in a situation that was a win-win for both. I would recommend both hiring and working with him in the future.
- Dariusz Paczuski, CMO
I worked with Michael in 2008 to find a general manager for one of the eBay Classifieds Group businesses. I've gotten to know Michael as a very competent professional who works hard to meet his clients' needs. In addition, Michael is very pleasant to work with.
- Martin Tschopp, CEO at Prosus Ventures
We hired Michael to help us recruit a CEO for V-Enable. Michael was extremely professional and communicative throughout the process. We had several experienced executives interested and Michael helped bring an executive with private and public company experience that fit our needs and company culture very well. I would strongly recommend Michael.

We have worked with Michael over the years in several of our portfolio companies and always found that he has a very relevant and broad network in the mobile space, which always led to many good candidates for the openings we had.
- Michel Wendell, General Partner at Nexit Ventures
Michael is one of the best. He is well-connected and respected in the industry - a powerful combination for his profession. We hired our CTO via Michael. Initially, he was able to provide three qualified candidates within days. One of these candidates we hired. I highly endorse Michael.
