Recently, our CEO Mike Rynchek was selected to receive Minnesota Business Magazine’s The (Real) Power 50 Award – a tremendous honor that recognizes key players in the Minnesota business community for their ability to allow their company and employees to flourish.
Although I have only been with Spyder Trap for a few months, it is easy to see that Mike cares deeply about volunteering, building our staff, and collecting a host of memories that contribute to a timeline of success. As a leader, he has instilled within his organization the desire to strive for excellence, and has promoted enthusiasm and innovation every step of the way. He takes the time to show clients he is on board with their mission, and showcases Spyder Trap’s commitment to go above and beyond with our projects.
But success is not instantaneous – it is built over time. These milestones are a small part of what makes Mike deserving of his most recent honor.
