Proven expertise to help profitably grow your business
Michael Curran: Director
With decades of experience delivering growth in multinational markets across a wide range of industries, Michael offers clients a unique combination of deep strategic expertise and asymmetric creative capability. He reimagines business models, sees new growth opportunities and delivers strategies that power growth.
Michael has worked for over 30 years with Boards, CEOs, and senior management teams to reinvent how businesses approach their markets, deliver customer value, and maximise and de-risk growth opportunities.
He has helped businesses successfully launch many new products, commercialise new technologies, raise millions in capital, exit from underperforming niches, and profitably grow.
In addition to his growth strategy work, Michael provides strategic advice and bid management on major tenders. With his background as a content creator and strategist, he teases out powerful win themes and integrates them through tenders with one voice, clearly communicating ‘why us’.
Michael has sat on three sides of the fence: service provider to corporations; new product manager; and high-tech start-up entrepreneur. He earned a Masters of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and later taught the Business Model and Business Plan subject in this post-graduate degree. His unique experience set and creative mind enable him to join the dots to high growth others haven’t yet seen.
