What Are They Saying?

Dan Reinbold, Director Information Services at Plains Midstream

"Mike is an extremely skilled negotiator and senior IT Executive. He literally saved tens of millions of dollars in the contracts that he as reviewed and negotiated. Mike has an uncanny ability to pull apart very complex contracts/agreements and identify significant areas of improvement. He also has been a driving force in building a culture of mentorship within IT."

Bill Trafford, EVP at Alberta Health Services

"Michael has the ability to bring the legal, financial and technical elements of a complex transaction together. He understands how to work as a team and bring the best skills into play at the opportune times."

Jeff Koch, RPF (AB & BC), PMP Project Manager at Plains Midstream Canada

"Mike is a results oriented individual with great drive, negotiating skills and an eye toward building positive strategic partnerships. I've worked with Mike on a variety of contracts for various vendors and his involvement has always led to a more comprehensive and enforceable set of contract terms achieved through challenging negotiation."

Steve Schroeder, Field VP Strategic Accounts at Varian Medical Systems

"Mike has proven himself as an effective executive who can lead high performing teams across a broad spectrum of business operations. His understanding of business strategy and operations, as well as complex contracts, allows him to effectively navigate a win-win for all parties (internal and external customers) toward successful relationships. I sat across the table from Mike a number of times in our relationship, and while he was quite focused on getting the results he needed for his organization, we were always able to come to a solution that kept our relationship strong and productive while achieving the results both parties needed."

Robb Stoddard, Assistant Commissioner Labor and Employment Practices at Alberta Government

"As CIO and Chief Strategist for the Alberta Government (1999-2005) I engaged Michael Gelinas to join our team to develop and implement the Service Coordinator Initiative, an initiative aimed at coordinating and ultimately consolidating the significant number of ICT outsourcing contracts across government. Although the GoA was not new to outsourcing, it did not have the contract management expertise required to successfully structure and manage the contract framework required for an initiative of this magnitude. Michael led the team that defined the outsourcing strategy, developed the Request for Proposal to be issued, and the contracting frameworks that would guide the procurement process and contract negotiations. Michael Gelinas is a true technology and transformation expert who can effectively guide complex organizations as they seek to create a high performing operational team and reduce costs within their IT organization. He is a tremendous motivator who generates trust at all levels of the organization, from technical resources to the C-Suite. Most important, his attention to detail within a strategic framework ensures success for any initiative you trust with him."

David Oh, Senior Director at Gartner Consulting Western Canada

"Michael is a tough and extremely skilled negotiator. His leadership in negotiating complex contracts in very high pressure environments was critical in our ability to close on several key M&A implementation deals resulting in multi-million dollar savings to the organization."

Chris Orr, Healthcare Program Director at Tranquil C's Consulting Inc

"Michael is a very astute and skilled negotiator and contract administrator. Michael was fair, honest, and straight forward to deal with during contract and invoice management. His organizational and communicator skills ensured that the process was painless. Michael is an executive level, strategic thinker who brings great value to his organization."

Shea Patsula, Market and Business Development at Bell Canada

"Michael brings a strong work ethic and business acumen to his team. I had the pleasure to work with him when he built the managed services business and I was heading up strategic planning. Michael successfully established some of our most complex agreements, outsourcing projects, service levels and partnerships. His balanced understanding of the business, client requirements and operating metrics was very effective at growing profitable business while meeting objectives and maintaining client satisfaction."
