Raised in an Army family, I went on after college to serve as an Army Aviation officer, serving most of my time in Germany. Upon exiting my service, I moved to Minnesota with the intention of getting an MBA in finance. I took a position with a small start-up that sold refurbished IBM enterprise servers tasked with developing and building-out their tech center. For the first two years, I was responsible for all back-end operations of the company. The owners offered me a position as a computer broker, which I accepted. What started as a job to pay the bills while in grad school led to a 20+ career with the company. I was the IBM Power systems product manager when I left, responsible for all IBM sales and inventory management.

Mike brings over 30 years of leadership and entrepreneurial experience in accounting and finance, operations, and sales to the Viking team. He has a broad background across a variety of businesses, in nature and in scale, as well as extensive merger and acquisition experience. He has been successful in industry consolidation, turnaround, and start-up situations. Soon after beginning his career as a CPA for a major accounting firm, Mike was recruited into a client’s corporate accounting group, where he quickly determined that his interest – and value – was with the company’s operations. That led to a series of divisional CFO roles for a number of different businesses, culminating in Mike becoming the corporate CFO. In that role Mike played a key part in developing and executing the growth strategy for the business, focusing on industry consolidation. Over the ensuing 8 years, the company completed more than 40 deals and was itself later sold at a substantial market premium. Mike then went on to run an industry-leading, multi-site manufacturer, where he led a dramatic turnaround in profitability. Following Mike’s exit from the corporate world, he chose to focus on more local and entrepreneurial ventures, first in consulting and later starting his own distribution business in Charleston, SC. Through that experience, he came to appreciate the unique challenges and opportunities of business ownership. Those insights along with his extensive management and deal experience are ideally suited to assist Viking’s clients. Throughout his career Mike has come to be known for his objectivity in making important business decisions, his innate analytical skills, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Mike aligns well with all of Viking’s core values, in particular integrity, innovation and collaboration.
