Relocating from Australia to Singapore, he drove the company’s regional expansion, leading successful entries into markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Japan. Michael was responsible for building the commercial engine that secured multi-billion-dollar, long-term contracts with the world’s largest cloud and technology companies. These partnerships underpinned AirTrunk’s growth trajectory and culminated in its landmark ~A$24 billion valuation in the Blackstone transaction.

Earlier, at Metronode, Michael held senior leadership roles as Co-General Manager and Head of Business Operations. He led commercial growth, enterprise and government contract wins, and operational performance, positioning Metronode as one of Australia’s premier data-centre operators. This success laid the groundwork for its acquisition by Equinix, a defining transaction in the Australian market.

After formally finishing his role at AirTrunk in December 2024, Michael has concentrated on personal investments and consultancy roles within the data-centre industry.

Michael holds a Juris Doctor (Honours) from Bond University and a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance) from the University of Melbourne.
