Mike has played an instrumental role in the MyerEmco transaction and has the experience to work with both Gary Yacoubian, our future president and COO and the entire management team, to ensure that the synergies we anticipate from combining the two businesses will be realized as smoothly and expeditiously as possible following the completion of the MyerEmco transaction.”
