What Sets Mike Apart: Mike combines deep technical insight with exceptional relationship-building skills, consistently transforming complex challenges into breakthrough opportunities for both government and commercial clients. He's lived through the evolution from relationship-based selling to data-driven strategies, and now helps organisations combine the best of human insight with AI capabilities.

Having navigated multiple technology transformations throughout his career - from enterprise computing to cloud adoption - he recognised AI as the most significant opportunity yet for sales acceleration. His practical understanding of how organisations actually buy and grow, combined with his ability to deliver results in challenging economic conditions, defines StrategAI's budget-conscious, results-driven approach.
