Michael is a passionate indigenous entrepreneur, and proud whanau and community member. He founded Indigenous Growth Limited, a new organisation with a quadruple bottom line, to empower families to get themselves out of the poverty cycle.
Mike made a conscious decision to pursue his dedication to empower his family and families like his who, despite working hard, were trapped in a poverty cycle. Since 2005 he chose a specialised path dedicated to this goal.
Indigenous Growth is taking a culturally diverse approach, building up people from the grass roots level to provide a more diverse and profitable culture for all organisations.
He holds a number of governance and advisory roles for whanau organisations, charities, learning institutions and not-for-profit organisations.
