Michael is a confident and proactive communicator with a keen ability to build lasting relationships at the C-suite level. His expertise lies in helping high-tech businesses unlock the potential of non-dilutive funding, guiding them through the complexities of R&D tax relief.

With a BA in Business Management and six years of experience in the R&D sector at Leyton, ABGi and FI Group, Michael has been instrumental in scaling up a start-up and supporting businesses in Aerospace and Defence. One of his most rewarding projects involved working with a seaborne satellite launch provider, helping transform an old dry belt carrier into a satellite launchpad – a relationship he has nurtured since 2019.

Beyond work, Michael is highly competitive and passionate about sports. He played international rugby for Cyprus for seven years and now competes in amateur Muay Thai. When he’s not playing sport, he’s watching – often following Chelsea home and away.
