About Me

Welcome to THE M&A Hub!

I'm Michael, and I'm on a mission to create a hub with everything you need to know and have about the world of Mergers and Acquisitions.

With over two decades of experience as a CFO in international companies, I've managed a wide range of functions, including finance, manufacturing, legal, HR, and IT. My passion? Mergers and acquisitions. I've been through the trenches and am here to share my knowledge with you.

I didn’t just study global M&A—I lived it.

It’s the reason I packed up my life in Austria and moved to Canada, and later from Canada to the U.S. Each move wasn’t just a change of scenery. It was a strategic leap—powered by the transformative force of mergers and acquisitions. Even when I wasn’t physically relocating, I was leading M&A projects from afar—working with teams across Europe, South America, and Asia. Read more about my journey here.

I hold a Ph.D. in Communications from Austria, an MBA from Austria and the UK, and a Master of Science in Accounting from the US. I'm also a proud recipient of the Elijah Watt Sells Award for the CPA exam and have completed executive education at the Wharton School. Oh, and did I mention I speak five languages?

I follow my dream of lifelong learning and have continued my education with a certificate in business coaching. I also completed an AI mastery program from Mindvalley and a certification in business applications of artificial intelligence from MIT. AI is changing how we conduct business, and I’m at the forefront of it.

With website visitors from over 100 countries, my core mission is clear:

Helping companies globally to increase the ROI on M&A through the creation of a premier M&A hub.

Here, you'll find:

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out in the field, THE M&A Hub is designed to help you better manage the intricate dance of mergers and acquisitions. Join me on this exciting journey as we explore the fascinating world of M&A together!
