About MICHAEL
I am an energetic and entrepreneurial Agency leader looking for interesting and challenging things to do

• New business obsessed (recently winning Ebay, Paddy Power & Ford) and have also built a number of my own successful businesses, including the Agency that boasted the highest net margins in the UK and a category changing sustainable drinks brand
• Proven leader who’s unafraid and get’s it commercially, an inspiring team builder and collaborator who inherently knows how to drive growth (most recently +13% revenue across an International network and +17% PBIT at a disparate digital marketing Group)
I’m a transformational individual who makes good things happen
