Mike launched Signature Search in early 2000 because he knew he had the right formula to develop an executive search firm that went beyond the industry standard, far exceeding expectation with a refreshing, professional, and dedicated experience.
He is known to have a distinctive enthusiasm and determination within his industry that transfers into Signature Search’s company philosophy of valuing integrity, expertise, intuition, and professionalism. Mike works collaboratively with clients so all parties involved experience ownership in the process and can feel confident in signing their names at the closing of the search; this end result is what inspired the company name.
His 30-year search and recruiting experience covers executive leadership and mid management positions within broad industry segments including manufacturing, consumer products, service, and non-profit and faith-based associations/businesses nationally and internationally.
