“Mike Cruz was the IT Director for The Pension Studio which was purchased by Group RHI. While serving as fractional CIO with Group RHI, I was tasked with consolidating technologies across our multiple acquisitions and moving to a Managed Service Provider with national scope. This meant that Mike would be displaced - never an easy thing to experience. I found Mike to be very professional and extremely responsive. He freely shared his extensive knowledge of the technology setup at The Pension Studio. I continued to work with Mike when he became CTO at one of Group RHI's vendors - Actuarial Systems Corporation. Again, I was always impressed with his responsiveness and service-oriented approach. ”
