Powering Up with Todd Teske
MiKE Co-chair Todd Teske was featured in 30 West's December issue. The article discusses Teske's rise to the role of chairman, president and CEO of Briggs & Stratton, the world's largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment.
When given a chance to talk about what he is excited about, Teske mentioned MiKE:
"MiKE is near and dear to me and what we are trying to accomplish at Briggs & Stratton, as well as the Milwaukee community," adds Teske. "MiKE brings together local design and technology entrepreneurs with established area manufacturers and companies to help create better services and products. Connecting innovation, design and technology to the customer sets up apart and will help us be competitive in a global economic environment."
