I am Michael Thomas—an Australian-born entrepreneur, father of three, and someone who’s been building, fixing, and reimagining things for as long as I can remember. My life has been an ongoing pursuit of better systems, stronger connections, and meaningful outcomes—whether that’s in business, family, or personal performance.
Professionally, I’ve worn many hats: automotive designer, software developer, property developer, digital marketer, and now AI entrepreneur. But my throughline has always been the same: I see problems that need solving, and I build structured, scalable systems to fix them.
I began my formal career in Industrial Design, graduating from the University of Canberra, then further sharpening my expertise in Transportation Design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin—studying alongside future Ferrari and Fiat designers. That formative period taught me the value of beauty, precision, and engineering discipline. It also instilled in me a designer’s mind: start with purpose, build with intent, and refine until it works beautifully.
Over the past 25+ years, I’ve lived and worked in Australia, the USA, and Europe, gaining first-hand insight into the grit it takes to run companies, raise capital, grow teams, and deliver results—often while balancing the chaos and joys of family life.
I’ve built businesses across multiple sectors including:
Whether I’m working with a high-growth tech company or a family-run business, my guiding framework remains the same:
These principles have helped me generate over half a billion pounds in sales revenue through smart systems and structured thinking—not just hype.
I’m a husband, a father of three, and someone who values deep relationships. My kids keep me grounded, honest, and constantly learning. We recently returned to the Northern Beaches of Sydney after 25 years abroad—a move that reflects a deeper shift: prioritising presence, simplicity and legacy.
When I’m not building businesses, I’m usually on a long-distance bike ride, locking myself away in a world of heart rate, watts and zones. I find that training the body sharpens the mind—and gives clarity to the next move.
I also love cars. Not just fast ones, but the artistry, engineering, and raw emotion that only cars and motorcycles seem to inspire.
That passion now lives inside a reimagining of a future automotive brand, a brand I’m building for purists who believe machines can have a soul.
