Michael is Vice President of Sales at LoopUp, where he is responsible for leading a team that spans North, Central and South America. 

Now based in New York City, Michael has experience leading successful teams, deal-making with C-Suite executives, and driving revenue in five major cities on three continents. 

When he isn’t leading global Digital Transformation projects at LoopUp, Michael is involved in several other professional and personal ventures. 

Michael was born with symbrachydactyly, a rare condition that means he has a partially formed left hand. In 2022 Michael founded Diversum, a non-profit organization to support, guide and inspire the Limb Different community – specifically Limb Different children. Diversum has raised over $10,000 and provided over 1,000 free meals for community members in need.   

In 2024 Michael co-founded Off.Line, an organization designed to give busy executives a digital detox. He is also an advisor to numerous start-ups in the US and UK, including Cucumber (cucumberproperties.com) and Umberto Reps (umbertoreps.com).

In his spare time Michael participates in ultra-endurance running and cycling events, which he uses as vehicles to raise money for his non-profit ventures. He also spends plenty of time in the kitchen, cooking for his family, his wife Rachel, and his two cats.
