He has held CEO, executive management and strategic roles, including serving as the Managing Director of Stanbic Bank Kenya Limited, where he led the merger of the Stanbic and CFC groups. He is now working as family business succession planning consultant and sits on various boards covering a wide spectrum of industries in East Africa. Having lived and worked in Kenya, Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Uganda, he has developed a deep understanding of the continent\u2019s diverse economies and business landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Currently based in Nairobi, he still has a heartfelt connection to his Cape Town roots and remains a passionate proponent for the city. \u201cCape Town has managed to shine in the face of immense national and global pressures, a city that blends resilience, creativity and opportunity in equal measure,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Mike serves as Chairperson of the Kenya-South Africa Business Forum, where he plays a pivotal role in promoting trade and investment between the two countries. Passionate about building sustainable economic linkages, he is excited about showcasing the city\u2019s potential. Beyond his formal roles, he is committed to mentoring emerging leaders and contributing to initiatives that strengthen Africa\u2019s financial and business ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For him, representing Cape Town across the continent is a personal and professional privilege: \u201cThis city has such vibrance and potential, it deserves to be known for all the good that\u2019s happening there. My role is simply to help others see it too.\u201d His goal is simple but impactful; to contribute, in any way possible, to a city whose potential he deeply believes in his current advisory and succession-planning work, Mike finds that the human element is often the most challenging and rewarding part of the process. \u201cHalf of it is the business side but the other half is family dynamics and that can be both challenging and rewarding to navigate,\u201d he says. He notes that conflicts within families can become deeply emotional and require a careful and steady approach. \u201cYou\u2019re dealing with people who may not be reasonable in the moment, so part of the work becomes helping them get back to a place where meaningful decisions can be made,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>He also strongly believes in the cumulative power of small opportunities to elevate Cape Town\u2019s global profile. \u201cIt\u2019s about keeping your eyes and ears open because something small can turn into something significant for the City,\u201d he says. He sees the ambassador network as a catalyst for this type of organic momentum: \u201cIt is that snowball starting to roll. Once it gets going, it becomes easier for Cape Town to gather more and more positive attention,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch with <a href=\"mailto:mi**@************wn.com\" data-original-string=\"oubMoSIH4+G8SgyBCD+0ng==8e0lyZ0BI+t5FFjx4Fp25\/eX0g9wd9Xl4AXZ3tbmG5ElRY=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
