About Michael

With over 7 years of experience in recruitment, Michael has spent the majority of his career specialising in placing commercial talent into high-growth SaaS vendors across the UK and international markets. As an Associate Director at YourPrime, Michael leads the team supporting clients in the FinTech, RegTech and Payments sectors, while personally heading up recruitment into product-led software companies operating in niche software areas.

He specialises in recruiting across sales, marketing and customer success functions, working closely with start-up and scale-up SaaS vendors to deliver the talent that drives revenue, traction and long-term customer growth. From building out go-to-market teams to supporting new product launches, Michael’s consultative approach helps businesses hire with confidence and pace.

In addition to delivering for clients, Michael is responsible for managing and developing YourPrime’s recruitment team, refining the company's commercial strategy and supporting the continued growth of the brand.

Outside of work, Michael is an avid (though admittedly not very good) golfer who enjoys keeping fit but is equally happy spending time with friends and family over a few drinks at the pub.
