Strategies for Leading Successfully in Challenging Business Environments

Your host Bobbie LaPorte with guest Mike Hamilton, Head of Information Technology, Mulesoft

Mike shares strategies for leading successfully in a fast-paced, ever-changing, challenging business environment

Mike Hamilton is the Head of Information Technology for Mulesoft-a SF Bay Area company and a leader in integration platform as a service (iPaaS.), now part of the Salesforce family.

Mike has been a deeply technical and strategic technology leader in the Technology Industry for 18 years delivering successful technology solutions in SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments. He’s helped Mulesoft grow from 4 offices to over 12 worldwide, building policies and practices that fit the needs of exponential growth.

He’s known in the industry for his strong ability to build teams, create cross-team wins, and continually improve business processes.

Mike is quoted as saying:

I love technology and the power it can deliver to help people fulfill their potential and be successful. But over the course of my career leading technical teams in diverse companies and across many different products and platforms, I have always considered myself a human being first.

The IT teams I have built and led have a focus first on achieving customer success by bringing people and technology together. The mantra for my teams is, “We will not be the department of NO; we will be the team that works fast, gets things done and provides value to our customers.”

And while keeping pace with all the new technology today is my passion, I am most proud of seeing my team develop as people first, and technology professionals second, while they build positive partnerships that directly impact our business.

I hope that as they move on in their careers they will carry forward this philosophy and approach to their teams and change the way Corporate IT is viewed forever!
