Mike Pascoe

Biography

With over 30 years of experience leading technology firms, Mike has a diverse set of technical, management and financial skills honed in a variety of companies and locations. As President of Newbridge Networks Inc (US Subsidiary) he participated on the Executive Operating Committee responsible for one of Canada's top technology success stories. That led to several technology company CEO roles, both private and public, in California and Canada, with M&A activities both as buyer and seller including the sale of PairGain Technologies for $3.2B (10X revenues).  Mike is a strong believer that the CEO succeeds when the management team is highly motivated towards successful execution against a thoroughly vetted operating plan and as a result he has spent considerable time in the field of team dynamics, conflict resolution etc. Experience (good and bad) has taught him the risks of the being too optimistic and committed to a plan without the value of independent and objective analysis.  His CEO advisory role with Stratford Managers is directed towards bringing this objective view to other CEO's to help ensure they make the best decisions possible and create the team environment most likely to succeed.
