A Bit About Michael

I studied Fine Art Photography at the University of The Witwatersrand in South Africa with a specialisation in large-format black and white portrait photography. My work has been exhibited across South Africa and Italy, and I’ve won numerous national awards. I went on to set up a photography and design business in Italy where I lived and worked for a number of years. I cut my teeth in the industry producing work for Fiorucci, Stefanel, Benetton, Diesel, Rocco Barocco and many other fashion brands.

I am now a 30-year veteran of Advertising, Design and Production Services. I’ve held leadership positions in two of the largest Advertising Holding Companies as CEO for Production for twenty five years, building and managing services across across Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa. My core competencies and experience include building and managing onsite production facilities, bespoke Content Factories and offshore production operations for Clients.

I have successfully designed and deployed production solutions for global, regional and local clients, such as Sun International, Shangri La, Resorts World, Sands China, Marina Bay Sands, AMEX, IBM, Unilever, P&G, L’Oréal, Singapore Airlines, Sony, STB, HPB, Nestlé, Old Mutual, Daimler, Beiersdorf, Mondelez, BAT, PMI, Haleon (GSK), Blackmores, Lenovo, Adidas, Singtel, StarHub, Maxis, and many other Global, Regional and Local Brands.

I was born in South Africa, but have lived in Singapore for almost thirty years. I am now Singaporean, and have settled here permanently. I’m married to a beautiful Singaporean wife, and we have two sons who are real little characters, keeping me young. Sort of.
