After a private-sector career in engineering, consulting, and sales leadership, Mike spent eight years as first selectman (mayor) of Fairfield, Connecticut, leading the town through Storm Sandy and other crises. Today he's a Vistage Chair helping CEOs grow their companies, and he says clarity is the one word every leader needs.
