“For more than a decade, I led the PPV program for Smith worldwide, and I expect to see the same success from our global procurement team’s focused efforts,” Mike said.

Mike recognizes that a strong team is key to both the division’s overarching goals and its immediate initiatives, which include targeting cost savings and bottom-line profitability with key suppliers and partners.

“You’re only as good as your people,” Mike said. “You must surround yourself with the best. As such, our goal is to build the most efficient global procurement team in the industry.”

Mike earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing in 1992 from Texas A&M University, a school he still holds dear. Outside of the office, Mike and his family can be found cheering on the Aggies football team year after year.

His love of sports doesn’t end there. Mike is also an avid golfer and enjoys watching his three sons play football and baseball.
