My main focus areas are business growth/acquisition and scaling our capabilities abroad.
Literally, a neatly manicured beard I don't feel belongs under wraps. Figuratively, optimism for my teams future.
A businessman like my 'Oupa' whose name was Llewellyn, hence Mickey Llew.
I was drawn to and worked at Groupon in their infancy, just before their major growth spurt, this, without a doubt, ignited my passion.
The unknown! Every year has brought new challenges, opportunities and aspects of growth to the business and our team I couldn't have predicted.
Being able to provide employment and scale careers with people from our country. The best by far.
Predominantly at home but we have a really exciting new office under construction with a specific purpose for our team.
Selfishly, cycling is a great release from everyday life and something I and my partner share in, which is a treat.
In reality, we are kept busy by three incredibly talented and driven children. Socialising haha, my partner and I have a routine of going to Saint JHB for dinner once a month which is non-negotiable and other than that we have a close-knit group of friends we'd host at home.
I don't give up and will always see things through.
There are far many to choose from, but I saw this recently and had a chuckle
Eric Prydes - Opus, for sure.
I am re-reading Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't by James C. Collins, I loved that. Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear is also a great read.
I am really focused on growing the Australian and UK portion of our business. I really want our team to have access to a global market from an employment and living perspective. Travelling is of the greatest things anyone could do, I want to enable that and an unparalleled work life balance for the people who make our business great and customers happy.
