Since graduating with a First in philosophy, politics and economics from the University of Oxford and gaining a Masters degree in economics and econometrics from the University of Manchester, Michael has enjoyed a varied international career. His first posting was as an economist with the Government of St Lucia in the West Indies during the period leading up to, and immediately following, the island's independence from the UK. He worked as an investment analyst with the Commonwealth Development Corporation and a loan officer with the European Investment Bank in the 1980s before returning to the UK where he served as Financial and Economic Manager of the London Docklands Development Corporation. He then worked with Touche Ross & Co / Deloitte & Touche as a management consultant in the City of London before setting up his own practice, Caledonian Economics Ltd, in which he sold his majority interest in 2007 to realise a 72% internal rate return for the founding shareholders. Since then, he has advised a range of clients, and served as senior adviser to the Africa Investment Forum in 2021/22.
