Mike Forte’s Summary

I am a highly motivated and experienced professional business transformation consultant with proven skills and drive to work beyond the parameters of the role and to prioritise effectively to meet deadlines. I am enthusiastic and thrive on new challenges with opportunities for fresh thought and innovation. I have excellent interpersonal and presentation skills and proven capabilities as a team leader, team member and an independent player.

I operate well at all organisational levels from the Shopfloor to the Boardroom and have gained this experience in many Client companies across a wide variety of industries and numerous complex, international projects. I quickly become a ‘trusted advisor’ to my Clients.

I have worked extensively on the development of new propositions to take to market and on pre-sales activities across Europe as a Bid Manager, Proposal Manager and Subject Matter Expert.

In my spare time I do voluntary work for the Samaritans and for Poole Quay Foyer and I am an NLP Master Practitioner and Certified Hypnotherapist.
