Executive Coach and Mentor

"In transitioning from a senior position within a MNC to starting my own business, I discovered gaps in my knowledge that without a skilled management team, limited the effectiveness of my strategy and focus.

Michael has a depth and breadth of knowledge that I have been able to tap and deploy quickly, allowing me to resolve specific concerns and obstacles as they arise.

Beyond this, my own knowledge and professional skill set continues to grow with Michael’s patient, focussed and grounded input."

"Michael has supported my growth as a leader over the past year in multiple ways. He’s provided really valuable insights related to unlocking better organizational capacity, software development, and has nurtured in me a skillset everybody needs right now – how to lead remote teams in moments of upheaval and chaos.

Beyond this, Michael really cares about his clients – he listens intently, he provides a compassionate but honest mirror, he does his homework, and he strives to make the most out of the time together."

“Roog was seeking a mentor with experience in mobile app development, retail and ecommerce, as well as the experience to help the business with marketing & sales strategies to support growth of our customer-base. Parker Veese provided all of these and helped us refine our mission with a broader perspective, enabling us to take our business to the next level.

On a personal level, Michael has helped me with time management techniques, guidance with product development and how to approach sourcing further investment. This support lowered anxiety and stress and opened-up the opportunity to regroup the Roog team and improve our communication about product design and market trends. This fresh look at our business helped us deprioritise work, saving us between 45 and 60 days of effort with the 3rd party contract software development team.”
