At Perficient we promise to challenge, champion, and celebrate our people. I recently sat down with one of our senior project managers, Michael Principe, to discuss this culture of putting people first. Along the way, I learned about his “winning” mentality and what he values most about his role.
Thank you for joining me today, Michael. I’d love to hear more about your role as a senior project manager? How do you impact Perficient’s culture in this role?

As a senior project manager, I am responsible for the overall delivery of an engagement. This includes contractual deliverables, building customer relationships, and founding a strong team. This is specifically important with our core team culture.
Our culture puts people first above all things, regardless of whether it’s a client or Perficient employee.
My typical day involves a quick review of all deliverables, a discussion of risks and mitigation, and a meeting to review, correct issues and plan for the future.

What are the things you value most about working at Perficient?

The movie quote “Winners always want the ball” summarizes the attitude I have towards my role. I love to get things done and done well, helping others along the way if I can.
To win you need a team and winning is more fun when you can share it.
Perficient is great at allowing you to expand as much as you want. All you need to do is participate. They understand when you’re “too busy” with a client, so you can work with the ebb and flow of your life.

Random alignment is what brought me to Perficient. When I was looking for a job, this opportunity came along. Because I try not to say no to new things, I pursued the opportunity. I stay with Perficient because of the people and the winners.
