I am very lucky to have managed Michael over the past 2 years, having seen him progress in his career from a Performance Analyst to one of the most thorough and technically astute Performance Managers within our business. Michael is a well trusted individual who, down to his responsibility and exceptional skill, is managing his own team and earned the position of driving performance media across some of Columbus’s largest clients. He has a passion for all things performance digital, having proactively expanded his knowledge and skills across SEM, SEO, Performance Display, Remarketing and Affiliates. Furthermore as an agile learner he takes new concepts and reframing them into innovative solutions for his clients – which can be observed by him delivering several first-to-market initiatives across his client portfolio. It has been a pleasure working with Mike and I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.

      Balwyn High School is a public school located in Balwyn North with a large sports complex which is leased to various local community basketball and netball clubs after school and on weekends. Key responsibilities:  Management and administration of the Tony Frizza Sports Stadium to optimise the use of the facility by community user groups outside of school hours.  Optimise revenue generated through rental, competitions managed, and sales from the stadium kiosk.  Provide high standard of customer service to user groups and patrons of the facility.  Manage a team of part time and casual staff including hiring, rostering and training.  Providing access to and security of other school facilities used by nonsporting club user groups. In addition to this, in 2008 I introduced an Open Aged basketball competition to utilise the stadium when it was not in demand by user groups. Since starting the competition we have grown from 10 teams to 27 taking it to capacity and growing revenue in excess of what the court hire would generate in rental alone. Show less
