Mike advises mid-market business owners, boards, and investors through high-stakes growth, buy-side M&A, and capital raises. He guides clients through the entire transaction lifecycle - from initial deal origination and strategy through structuring, due diligence, and final close.

Over his career, Mike has led cross-border acquisitions and capital raises across diverse sectors, spanning technology, aerospace, construction, financial services, and food and beverage. 

Mike also brings operating experience that most advisers lack. As a senior finance leader in a FTSE-listed technology group, and later head of financial planning at a major infrastructure services firm, he led turnarounds that returned businesses to profitability through renegotiated commercial terms and cost discipline. That grounding shapes how he structures deals and evaluates targets - around what a business can deliver after close.

Mike began his career in audit and corporate finance at a major international accountancy firm and is ACCA qualified. Based in Glasgow and London, he serves clients across the UK, Europe, and internationally through CDI Global’s cross-border offices.
