Michael joined Skype as COO and watched the project from launch through sale to eBay and growth from zero revenue to 400 million in 3 years. He learnt the tricks of the trade within the Tele2 group of companies, responsible for launch and build up of 9 mobile businesses across Europe, plus ISP, callback and calling card operations.

Michael is a Partner at Mangrove Capital Partners in Luxembourg, a leading early stage VC. Here he brings his experience to new and existing portfolio companies, so they can grow to be as large as Tele2 or Skype.
