A Different Perspective

This week, Nick speaks to serial technology entrepreneur and author, Michael Tobin OBE.

With over 30 years’ experience in the telecoms and technology sector, Michael is the former CEO of Telecity. Michael built Telecity from a £6m market cap to a £2.6bn business.

Michael has since founded Tobin Ventures, and holds multiple NED and Chairman roles with progressive businesses in the datacentre and technology industries. Michael is also Chairman of Audioboom.

Nick and Michael discuss Michael’s upbringing, his route to becoming CEO of Telecity, his management of several successful exit strategies, and his maverick management techniques.

Michael's book choice was 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke and his latest book is out now -  A Perfect Storm: How to thrive in an uncertain and ever-changing world.

What is A Different Perspective?

A Different Perspective is a Zeus podcast, hosted by Nick Searle, Equity Sales. In the different perspective podcast we speak to interesting characters within finance and business to understand more about their personal journey and ambitions. This is co-mingled with a discussion about their business. It’s more about the formation of the individual than the business per se; thus trying to gain that different perspective.
