Mike Walker, President and Chief Executive Officer
While earning his business degree at the University of Oklahoma, Mike interned summers at Lane Farms in Arkansas, and then accepted a fulltime position with the company upon completion of school. During his time at Lane (and subsequently Tyson Foods, which acquired Lane), Mike learned the poultry business from the ground up. Realizing the need for better information management systems in the poultry industry, Mike combined his knowledge of the industry with his interest in computer software development to create the genesis of the Poultry Management Tools Series. Mike founded MTech Systems in 1991 and still maintains a hands-on approach to the company he started. He continues to add to his legacy by actively developing new software solutions which will propel the company forward.
