Experience

In May 2021, Mike was selected for the firm’s industry eminence program, which positions its senior analysts to understand, forecast and communicate economic, business and technology trends shaping the industries RSM serves. With a firm grasp on the consumer products industry, he wanted to go beyond the headlines and raw numbers to understand the macroeconomic concerns that affect middle market businesses in that industry. RSM’s industry eminence program is helping him achieve that.

He presents frequently to the consumer products team to give insight into how macro trends are affecting RSM’s clients and their transactions.
