When a page about Mike Millett names somebody else

Companies are named in full, with the role and the period. Individuals are named by role, not by name. Anyone named here can object, and the wording changes or comes down.

In brief

Mike Millett was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions, where he led the four-year repositioning that renamed the company Stratus Clean in April 2026.

That one sentence names an employer, a brand and a period. A claim about a person is checkable only when it is tied to something a reader can already reach, so pages about him name other people and companies.

They did not agree to appear, were not asked how they would word it, and cannot edit the page. This is what the site does about that.

Three kinds of other party, and how each is named

  1. 01

    The organization that employed him

    Named in full, with the role and the dates, the part an outside source can confirm. It keeps its own results: number one on Entrepreneur’s Fastest-Growing Franchise list, four years running from 2023 to 2026, was won by Stratus Building Solutions, not by an employee. It keeps its name too, so this site does not compete for Stratus Clean or StratusClean.

  2. 02

    The individual who shared the work

    Named by role, never by name. A professional designer refined the execution of the Stratus Clean identity, and that clause stays because cutting it would overstate the credit. The name stays out, because publishing it would make a private professional permanently searchable.

  3. 03

    The publication being quoted

    A ranking belongs to whoever produced it, so the publication is named beside the number. Entrepreneur ranked a franchise system. It did not vouch for a person, and a loosely written citation will imply that it did.

Naming a company does not mean the company agrees

A named third party shows where somebody was. It does not endorse what the sentence says.

So the boundary lives in the wording. He led the repositioning as VP of Marketing is a claim about a role this site can date. Stratus Building Solutions credits him with the repositioning is a claim about what a company says, which this site cannot make.

If somebody named here objects

An objection from a named party is treated as a correction request with standing, including when the sentence is accurate and the complaint is only about wording.

Three outcomes: reword it, demote the verb a tier so the credit claims less, or take the passage down.

Insisting that the sentence is true is not one of them.

The contact page is the way to raise one.

What this does not fix

A role is not a disguise. The designer who refined the execution is identifiable to everybody who was in the room. Naming by role shields somebody from strangers, and strangers were never the exposure.

Removing does not unname. Taking a passage down removes it from here and nowhere else. Copies and caches keep the name, so a withdrawal answers the request but does not undo it.

This is not consent. Consent cannot be retrofitted: asking a former colleague years later makes refusal socially expensive, so a yes obtained that way is worth little. And this site cannot see the cost it imposes: somebody made worse off by an accurate sentence is usually not reading the page.

Common questions about the other people named here

Does mikemillett.com name the people who worked alongside Mike Millett?

Organizations are named in full, with the role and the period, the part an outside source can confirm: Mike Millett was VP of Marketing at Stratus Building Solutions, and he founded Digilu in 1999. Individuals are named by role, not by name. The Stratus Clean identity credit records that a professional designer refined the execution after Mike Millett drew it, and that clause stays because removing it would overstate his credit. The designer is not named, because publishing a private professional’s name makes them permanently searchable in a context they did not choose.

What happens if a person or company named on mikemillett.com objects to how they appear?

It is treated as a correction request with standing, even when the sentence is accurate and the objection is about wording rather than fact. Three outcomes: reword it, demote the verb a tier so the credit claims less, or remove the passage. Restating that the sentence is true is not one of them. Mike Millett can correct a sentence about himself here. Nobody else named on the page can.
