Mike Sones

Mike has worked in operations management for more than 15 years. In that time, he has been responsible for people leadership, P&L accountability, process execution and improvement, training and customer service. As a store manager for Walmart, he led overall operations for three different stores, including a large volume store with over $100M in sales, annually. He was then selected to lead one of a small number of Academy stores for the company, where he delivered training and development for managers covering 40+ additional stores.

Mike graduated with distinction from the University of Iowa in summer 2022 after completing his MBA. A stroke of luck brought him to the telecom industry—he applied for a Project Manager position at CellSite for a change of pace and fell in love with the company.

Mike has two kids and three large dogs. He enjoys coaching his son’s basketball team and assists with coaching his baseball team, as well. A Nebraska native, Mike loves to cheer on the Cornhuskers, or catch a game with any of his adopted Chicago teams.
