What colleagues and associates say about Mike
Glowing reviews from a broad range of paid and volunteer roles
Kevin Reinert
CFO, Central Element
ex-Chief Financial Officer, DNW Group
Board Member, Disability Sports Australia
Advisory Board Member, iPartners
“I’ve worked with Mike for a number of years and believe he brings a wealth of experience across various business topics, ranging from organisational design through to treasury and capital management.
One of the most recent topics we were involved with together was the development of a risk framework that started with the "Why", to ensure that the leadership were both educated and consistent with their views. Mike made sure we paid attention to this often-overlooked key ingredient. The framework was then rolled out to each business unit to ensure long-term alignment and consistency.
Mike’s extensive experience across a broad range of topics allows him to approach each scenario from a unique and highly intelligent perspective. His focus and skill set add long-term value to every organisational project he takes on.”
Fulvio Barbuio
Head Corporate Treasury & Risk at Australian Broadcasting Corporation
"Mike is a fellow Board member (President and Chair) of the Finance and Treasury Association and I have known and worked closely with him in this capacity and before in other FTA committees. As the leader of the FTA board he has demonstrated vision and drive and supported and encouraged his fellow board members to think big and get the important things done. His treasury knowledge and professional manner are impeccable and his strong commercial business sense comes through in spades and I regard him as a close professional colleague, confidante and friend."
Rob Dougall
Non Executive Director at AUSCOAL Superannuation Pty Ltd
"I work with Mike on the FTA Board which he Chairs as President. He has great drive and enthusiasm for the Association and its goals. A great part of what was achieved over the last year was due to Mike ensuring the Board was focussed and dealt with issues promptly as they came up. He showed great leadership in both governance and the development of the new strategic plan. He is a team player who listens well to the views of others and tries to achieve consensus before moving forward without letting issues get bogged down. I look forward to serving on the Board with him in 2017."
Dr Nuncio D'Angelo
Partner and Head of Banking & Finance Norton Rose Fullbright
"I've known and worked with Mike for over a decade on a whole range of debt and treasury transactions, including some quite complex and demanding situations. Mike commands respect for his knowledge and experience and has an impressive ability to harness even difficult counterparties and bring them to the table, while remaining calm under pressure. As a senior banking and finance partner in a global law firm, I have worked with some of the best - and I include Mike in that category."
