Bio
Vanessa Papaioannou
I worked with Mike over a number of years both at Blackberry Ltd but also at TCL Blackberry Mobile division. Two things stand out about Mike. Firstly, his deep knowledge of his territory and his extended network within this. Secondly, his ability to deliver on his commitments. He has not once let me down on delivering deals timely and with the required terms, no matter how complicated those may be. Mike is a commercial leader with a broad skill set and experience in multiple aspects or running and growing a business. Mike is a great individual to work with and an asset to any business which values results.
Gareth Hurn
I've known Mike for 9 years, working together across 2 companies with very different situations- established Corporate & Start-Up environment. Mike was equally comfortable in both. If i could summarise Mike's qualities, it would be honesty, work ethic, results driven and breadth of competency and experience. The latter point reflects his ability to drive such varied initiatives from Sales to Product to Commercial to Business Development to Media interviews. I would not hesitate in recommending Mike for any of the above areas, but I feel there's a particular value for Companies wishing to expand business in the Middle East/Africa region - Mike will drive ROI.
