Mike Thompson

I have worked with Mike in a variety of different capacities over the past 10 years and watched him succeed throughout. Mike has a combination that is unique — he is strong in both brand and digital marketing, maintains focus on high-level objectives while remaining very detail oriented, identifies talent and ensures they have the support they need to achieve their potential, and understands the metrics and levers required to achieve the highest ROI in marketing campaigns. He is professional and a true pleasure to work with.

Mike is an exceptional leader and mentor who I had the privilege of working with for more than 4 years at Gartner. He brings deep marketing expertise and pushes his team toward continuous improvement, championing new testing initiatives and opportunities to move the needle at an enterprise level. Mike is also a warm and people-oriented leader who understands how to motivate a team and brings out the best in people around him.

Mike has consistently proven to be one of the most professional, creative, intelligent, strategic and results-driven people with whom I've worked. Mike has the unique ability to simplify the complex, think outside the box, apply cutting-edge approaches, and generate results for the company — all while making it an enjoyable and inspiring experience. If I could build a Marketing department, I would want Mike in it in a leadership role.

I have worked alongside Mike for about 10 years at Thomson Reuters. Mike is a superior leader and teammate. He honors — and overdelivers — on his commitments, is extremely focused on the customer, and has deep and broad functional expertise as a marketer. He engenders trust and demonstrates strong leadership even through the most challenging times of change and disruption.
