Mike founded, scaled and exited Shape History, the award-winning social impact agency. The organisation has worked internationally alongside global institutions including the United Nations, Atlantic Council, and World Health Organisation.
Mike is one of the few people I know who really understands what it takes to be a progressive business leader in the world today. Not only has he setup and grown his own successful social impact agency, but he’s taken the time to truly get to grips with the most salient issues impacting people today, such as mental heath in the workplace.
