Simplifying Global Mobility, Built from experience

Mike’s purpose in founding Global Expat Pay is to deliver an innovative and cost-effective way to simplify global mobility data and payments. This in turn digitises the whole global mobility operating model and eliminates the major causes of inefficiency and cost.

He is passionate about unlocking value for his customers and has brought together a team of people whose combined experience and skillset combines a deep knowledge of global mobility operations with how to apply leading edge technologies to transform the way mobility teams function. There has been lots of focus on the strategic reasons for global mobility programmes but hardly any on how to enable the operations to in turn deliver these talent and strategic outcomes. Simplification of global mobility data and payments is a critical step to eliminate operational time, external cost and make the assignee experience frictionless. This switches on actionable insight and strategic value. Mike’s mission is to bring this to life for all customers.

Before Global Expat Pay, Mike has accumulated over 30 years’ experience in the global mobility area as well as being an assignee himself under a variety of policies and locations. He has worked with many of the largest global mobility programmes across the automotive, pharmaceutical, consumer products, telecommunication and financial services sectors.
