Mike Read

Mike has worked as an Executive Coach (IECL) for 18 years, prior to which he had a successful career in marketing, advertising and innovation. As such, brand has always been at the epicentre of his working life.  

He now works alongside a portfolio of client partners, spanning multiple industry categories, to help engineer high performance cultures that are both sustainable and authentic. 

Having worked on both sides of the agency / client ‘fence’, he is able to bring immediate empathy as to the dynamics of these business-critical relationships, as well as an understanding of life inside both client and agency environments.
