I was privileged to work with him at Intec where, over the course of a few short years, he lead the company’s stellar growth to become one of the major players in the OSS/BSS space. If Mike can bring the same insights, imagination and energy that I witnessed there then VoluBill will be very well served indeed,” said John Aalbers, CEO of VoluBill. “Mike’s many achievements speak volumes and the specific areas of expertise that he brings; high growth, M&A and the ability to “think big” are well aligned with VoluBill’s own growth plans.” added Aalbers.
