“I’ve worked with Mikey both under his management, and alongside him in a leadership team. His natural capacity for understanding people can’t be understated, and is combined with an instinctively strategic outlook.

His nuanced understanding of both individual and business needs makes him an impressive and well-respected leader, with a particular ability to define and implement scalable processes in a thoughtful and team-centred way.

His example has taught me (and many others) not only how to manage growing teams effectively and with authenticity - but how to lead a business consistently and sustainably in the context of unpredictability that characterises startup life.”
