our story
Michael founded Simplexity after seeing the same pattern play out over and over again: capable business owners running themselves into the ground, wrestling with complexity that shouldn't exist.
Over a decade working with businesses of all sizes taught him that most business problems aren't actually that complicated. They're just treated that way. And they're taking a toll they shouldn't – on directors, families, and the businesses themselves.
So he built Simplexity around a simple premise. Strip away the complexity, focus on what actually drives growth, and execute alongside you. Not just strategy documents that gather dust. Real implementation. Real results.
When you work with Simplexity, you're not getting a consultant who disappears after delivering a report. You're getting a dedicated teammate whose success is tied directly to yours. And when your business needs specialist expertise, Michael brings in the right people—designers, strategists, coaches, operators—to build the exact team you need. No retainers for skills you don't use. Just the right expertise, when you need it.
