"Working with Michael at Cloudflare was one of those rare professional pleasures where you realize very quickly: ah, this one's the real deal. Smart in the ways that actually matter, generous with his time, and unflappable even when the rest of us were juggling flaming chainsaws. He made hard problems feel lighter and teams feel sharper. And of course, in classic Michael fashion, he went on to even bigger and better roles — because that's what happens when talent, curiosity, and basic human decency all show up in the same person. I'm genuinely proud to have worked with him, and even prouder to watch where he's taken his career." Martin Levy, Cloudflare

"Michael led a multi-disciplined and multi-national engineering team in a challenging time for the company and was able to deliver results consistently and at a high level. Despite acquisitions and the uncertainty that they can bring, he was able to focus himself and his team to progress the business forward and to leave behind a legacy that was better than what he inherited. He led by example — and I enjoyed the time I got to spend working with him." Will Charnock, Head of Infrastructure and Cloud Services, Thales
