"Michael has a great sense of personal honor. He provided to those of us - physicians and scientists - involved in this sensitive situation with unending and very valuable support and advice. All of us who benefited from his wise counsel, sense of humor and unique professional skills recognize that Michael is a national treasure."

Dr. Nancy Olivieri, MD, FRCPC
The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto
Professor, Pediatrics and Medicine
University of Toronto

(Dr. Olivieri has been involved, for many years, in an effort to make public her concerns about the alleged potential dangers of a drug she had been testing in clinical trials sponsored by a pharmaceutical company. Her principled stand has become an enduring legacy regarding the safety of children and the need for researchers to remain truly independent.)

 "I was part of a senior executive management team of a publicly traded company when I got to know Michael. He regularly advised and prepared us for events such as Annual General Meetings, quarterly and other public disclosures -- press conferences and conference calls with the financial community and investors -- and product launches. Michael always brought focus, discipline and an over-powering common sense to these high pressure and critically important events. Almost as important was Michael’s sense of humor, which he always summoned at just the right time and with just the right amount of discretion.

I enjoyed working with Michael as a professional and as someone who operates like he has skin in the game."
