Michael is a serial technology entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the former ‘maverick’ CEO of Telecity Group, the FTSE 250 data centre operator, which he took from £6million to £3billion, Michael is known across the globe as the leader who created the data centre industry in Europe.

Subsequently, Michael turned his attention to supporting entrepreneurs, businesses and leaders in the digital and technology space.

Michael is one of Debrett’s ‘People of Today’, is one of Smith & Williamson’s Top 25 UK Entrepreneurs, a Stevie’s Chairman of the Year and three times Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. He gives every ounce of his energy to support others.
