To: Prospective employers of Mike Durden
Mike has been a well-respected employee of Pason Systems for 9 years and a direct report of mine at
the time of closure of our Colorado operations. In this time he fulfilled leadership roles in sales,
operations, and product management (marketing).
Mike exceeded the requirements asked of him in these roles and repeatedly demonstrated his
aptitude for managing people and customers including some of Pason’s largest accounts.
I trust Mike to deliver on large ambiguous problems. Given the latitude to explore complex issues,
Mike’s self-motivation asserts itself. In this capacity he has been able to use his pragmatism and
insight to define the issue, set goals, and achieve them efficiently with excellent results.
I fully endorse Mike Durden to any prospective employer and welcome phone calls to speak further
on Mike’s fit with your organization.
Yours Truly,
Lars Olesen
Director, Product Management
Pason Systems Corp.
