Between 1984 and 1997, he worked as a consultant\u00a0at both Accenture and McKinsey on various IT and general business assignments; he founded\u00a0and ran a software products company for four years, and was also a non executive director of\u00a0another software start up specializing in digital rights management.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, 2010 &amp; 2011, he was voted one of the top 50 CIO\u2019s in the UK in a survey by\u00a0Silicon.com. He has been a CIO advisor for HP; part of the Accenture panel of Global CIO\u2019s\u00a0and worked with Boston University to forecast the strategic direction for offshoring and outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>Mike graduated from Oxford University with an MA in Biochemistry after doing research into\u00a0Parkinson\u2019s disease. Outside work, Mike enjoys his family, sport and travel.
