Michael oversees business operations while his day-to-day activities are focused on strategic relationships and customer delivery. An energetic, hands-on executive and entrepreneur with over 18 years of IT services experience and a track record of successful management, he organized a group of private investors in 2003 and completed two acquisitions to build Quest.
Prior to taking over Quest, Michael ran the Dallas office for Howard Systems International, a $40M privately held IT services company. In 1998 he co- founded and served as President of EnterCon International, an IT services firm that focused on employee- and customer-facing web applications. As President of EnterCon, Michael developed a reputation for delivering exceptional customer service with LOA (a lack of arrogance), delivering IT services to Fortune 500 clients such as Dell, Texas Instruments, Kodak, VHA, and Cigna. As a key component of the formation of e2i, a startup funded by a major Wall Street investment banking company, EnterCon became the U.S. operations for e2i and Michael was named Vice President. In his role as VP of e2i, Michael was responsible for hiring and training all consulting resources, as well as playing a key role in the creation of a CRM practice for the company. Prior to EnterCon Michael was a consultant and manager for BSG Alliance/IT where he held management roles in multi-million dollar ERP implementations as a consultant at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture).
