Michael is the concept initiator and developer of the Global 1000 Schools Project (G1000). The Proof of Concept for G1000 was developed at Waterford Kamhlaba, United World College of Southern Africa, Mbabane, Swaziland where Michael was employed as the Eco Estate Manager and where he spent three years developing their facilities and sustainability program.
Prior to this Michael’s passion for the environment and sustainability was reflected in his shift in focus from the corporate sector to that of environmental education during the autumn of 2011. He built and managed the off grid environmental Kamoka Bush School in 2011 (in conjunction with St Stithians College), and this has informed his career path ever since.
His shift in focus also led to a Post Graduate Degree in Futures Studies at the University of Stellenbosch Business School in 2015. It was here that he developed the core disciplines required for leadership and the understanding of the world and its future pathway. He consults to organizations and works with schools in many different countries.
