Mickey graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Computer Engineering. Freshly out of college he began his career working for Haggar Clothing Co., a men’s fashion retailer based in the southwest, managing IBM mainframes that processed massive amounts of data and transactions, tying
into all facets of the company’s operations. After five years at Haggar, Mickey was recruited by consumer electronics retailer and reseller CompUSA as a Corporate IT Director. There he managed the IT Technical Teams responsible for procurement, vendor management, and systems maintenance of all computer, networking, and point of sales systems during the company’s high-growth period in the mid-to-late ‘90s.
In the midst of the corporate restructuring of CompUSA in 1998, Mickey was courted by a former colleague to join Clear Technologies, at the time an IBM reseller that was in the early stages of developing one of the world’s first CRMs. Mickey joined the firm as Executive Vice President and spearheaded the development efforts of C2CRM, purchasing the company in 2004 and becoming Clear C2’s President and CEO.
Mickey’s experience on the client side of the vendor relationship influenced the customer-centric focus that Clear C2 embraces today. He has built a team of talented technologists who are passionate about making C2CRM the best solution on the market. In his spare time, Mickey enjoys spending time with his wife Chantaye, sharing a nice bottle of wine and playing with their Golden Retriever Cooper, the Clear C2 office mascot and head of the Patton household.
