Name sounds like 'scorer', but I've never won a sports game - I run instead!
I use the best technologies to grow businesses and reduce costs
“Mike is an inspirational and motivated director whose ability to inspire the team in to working effectively and efficiently is remarkable. Coupled with his strategy and vision and extensive knowledge of applications and technology, he has enabled us to do some very exciting things very quickly, including building a new [business intelligence] platform which has the potential to be a very lucrative revenue stream...”
Results-focused, I close the gap between customer needs and their technical resolutions.
- Identified revenue opportunities from unused business data yielding (repeatable) £100k from first customer; with ability to scale and lock-out competitors.
- Track record of delivering outstanding results against stretch targets e.g. Achieving 118% of a software development target that had already increased 40% year on year.
- Increased SaaS customer base 300% with 97% customer retention rate. Mutual-win negotiator: e.g. 10% higher gross profit on otherwise failed SharePoint BI project.
- Consulted at main board level on strategic IT innovation to save my customer “a six figure sum and 12 months.”
- LEAN Startup experience: Twice turned SaaS companies from loss to operating profit out of cash-flow; grown a startup from zero to £500k in its first year; fielded a business offer of $10m for 20% in another company.
Working best in environments that have some element of Startup, Turnaround or Realignment, I leave Business As Usual to others!
