“I am delighted to write this letter of reference for you that you may feel free to show to anyone.
I am the Chairman of the Board of Launch Lab, a regional innovation centre in Kingston, Ontario. As President and CEO of Launch Lab, Michael reported directly to me. I was also on the selection committee that recruited Michael about seven years ago.
Michael was recruited to manage an organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs create, build and grow companies in this geographic region, companies that hopefully have the ability to scale and create economic impact. Michael is very disciplined yet he was very creative in the ways that he raised funds and organized partners. He is a very dedicated and loyal executive who leads by example.
I am confident that if you spoke with any Launch Lab client over the years, their review of Michael would be very positive. He is an experienced and savvy businessman who is very adept at analyzing client needs and mobilizing resources to deliver solutions.
I have great respect for Michael and he could help just about any organization. I would be pleased to answer question by phone if needed.”
