Hello...

If you want to hire me... I have over 12 years experience in the Internet and telecommunications industries in board-level roles. I have started, built and sold my own business, I have been involved in the sale, MBO and financing of a number of other companies. I have run a marathon (and am training for a second), travelled 30,000 miles overland across 26 countries and three continents, and I have been a part of breaking a very insignificant world record. I am an entrepreneur, a calculated risk-taker, someone who thrives on a challenge, and wants to excel at everything they do.

I'm a graduate of Eton College and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, with a MA(Cantab) in Engineering and Computer Science. I recently completed an MBA (with Distinction) at Warwick Business School.

From here you can find out a little about:

• Eton College

• Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge

• the businesses I've been involved in

• my very occasional appearances in the media

You can e-mail me at mike at blanche.org

PS I'm none of the following, although I'm sure they're all nice people:

• the Mike Blanche who writes poetry about dead pets who is the same Mike Blanche who is a long distance trucker from Omaha, who reviews cruise liners. Although that sounds like a great career move...

• the Mike Blanche from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

• the Mike Blanche who is the ex-Governor of the Falkland Islands and the "Beast of Bromley" (by his own admission!)

• the Mike Blanche who is an Australian country music singer. Visit his site to hear him croon...
