About Michael

"Michael has been a pioneer and business leader for over 30 years and, in that time has not only crossed the divide of so many business verticals but also challenges and leadership styles.

With a unique skillset for being able to take a blue-sky view of a business, help define its purpose and exit, mapping back to today and crafting an overarching strategy to deliver key stakeholder goals.

Never afraid to ask the questions of a business that garner the answers a board must hear, rather than want to hear, leaves Michael incredibly well placed to enter a turnaround project and exact swift and incredibly profitable change.

A key strategic thinker and incredibly successful entrepreneur, the gravitas of experience Michael brings to a business simply cannot be underestimated. Leveraging an open and straight-talking approach and, a core of experience unrivalled in the modern business world, Michael never shies away from a challenge. The opposite, he thrives on it.

Having now built, sold and turned around a whole raft of businesses around the globe, Michael is now looking to add just a handful of very thoughtfully selected Non-Executive positions to his already impressive portfolio, where a business can truly benefit from him energising a large project, turning around a failing one, or simply leveraging such a clarity of mind in a growing business."
