“Having known Mike through work in both the for & non-profit side, it's clear he is a man of vision, passion,
and action. As a pastor and a business leader, he is committed to encouraging and equipping leaders to reach their full potential
through the integration of faith and business. Mike combines the insight and experience of a strategic business leader with
the heart of a pastor to deliver high value to the clients and all the organizations he engages with. Oh - and good luck in
trying to out-serve him!”

“Michael Forney has a rare combination of strengths that make him an outstanding addition to leadership teams.
He can forge consensus among team members with divergent opinions, formulate a strategic vision while driving the execution
details, and coach executives and board members to make and implement high value decisions. As President and COO of Rosetta
Solutions, Michael pulled together the Rosetta team to bring a break-through product to market, establish the initial customer
base, and build momentum in the market. Michael recently led the effort to successfully find a strategic partner for the primary
business unit. Michael makes things happen.” January 5, 2009 Peter Raulerson, Partner, PARA Marketing
“Michael provided clear direction and feedback on the key aspects of our project. He immediately saw the strategic
relevance to Rossetta and provided incisive commentary on our recommendations. Michael has an ability to see 'big picture'
or 'blue sky' opportunities and then set out strategic and tactical plans to monetize those opportunities. At Rosetta/NetGalley,
Michael saw significant opportunity to improve the publishing supply chain with a series of innovative software tools that
will materially improve the way the publishing industry operates.” January 5, 2009
Michael Cairns, Managing Partner, Information Media Partners, (Publishing and Media Strategy Consulting)
“Smart, flexible, astute, and not afraid to tackle the dirty jobs, Mike inspired me and everyone who worked
with at Rosetta him to do the very best possible job.” January 15, 2009
Ted Hill, President, THA Consulting
“Michael surprises me all the time with the vastness of his interests and his depth of knowledge about people and
organization. No matter what business you practice, knowing and caring for people is a key to success and long term relationships.
Michael came alongside me and a team of other professionals and helped us launch an effort that might have dwindled without
his keen insights. Michael has a vibrant spirit and brings more than business expertise to the table. The ability to coach
other business people to do what's best for them is a rare skill. I've always been kind of a cowboy, a renegade in
business, independent you might say. Michael gave my heart for business a soul and a mind in a business plan which was accepted
by our client. We couldn't have done it without him.”
