Bio
Anton Homer
Quite simply one of the best people I’ve ever worked for. Mike is very strategic but at the same time gives the right level of support to the people working for him. I always felt empowered to get on with the job my way, but knew I had Mike there when I needed him. We communicated well together so always felt like we were aligned in what we were doing. Working through a sale process with Mike was very instructive. He’s a very good operator, managed all the calls with buyers, advisers, funders etc with calm and intelligence. Thanks for the experience, will always be grateful.

Where do I even start .... I will try here : serious brain power with the envious ability to make anything seem easy & ‘doable’, under Mike’s empowering leadership his team blossomed and grew into an independent, ambitious team who had the swagger to believe that nothing was impossible. I’m grateful for the time I had working with Mike, he taught me so much and gave me so many opportunities to keep learning.
