Verbatim client survey comments from Dr. George Heilmeier, former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus of Telcordia Technologies Inc. regarding over 55 various senior searches for this client.

"When I was Chairman & CEO of a $1.5 billion technology company in the mid-'90s, we retained Korn Ferry to do some high-level officer searches for us, and Mike was the overall Partner on the account. We had used other search firms in the past, but Mike was the guy who got results. I truly believe this was because he really paid attention to our criteria, versus other search firm consultants who just seemed to go to their databases or rolodexes for names.

"Even in torrid times (i.e. in the mid-late ‘90s and the "War for Talent" period) the caliber of people Mike presented to us was always extremely high. He's very good at helping his clients bring on board talented execs. He did his homework on both the company's needs and with the candidates he presented. I didn't know Mike was a Bain consultant, but I can believe it, because he was very effective at really understanding our business, our needs, our passions and our prejudices. He also listens well and understood what I liked and disliked about the candidates he presented to us.

"I have had experience working with other major search firms and the name of the firm didn’t mean too much to me after a while. What became important was working with a really good search consultant who got great results – and that is Mike. So whether he is on his own as a sole practitioner, or working with a "big name" firm is immaterial to me. I would definitely work with Mike again."
