Michael is the General Manager of DAVIS Funeral Care. With locations spanning the Auckland area, he is responsible for leading the dedicated and talented team at Davis, ensuring that meaningful service and support is consistently delivered to families, at the time it is most needed.

Michael also drives meaningful philanthropic support to community groups and organisations across Auckland.

Whilst born and raised in the West, Michael has spent most of his life pursing a lengthy global corporate career in the ICT space. He held senior executive roles with Microsoft, Vodafone Global Enterprise, and Tata Communications.

Michael returned to New Zealand in 2016, seizing the opportunity to enter the Funeral Service industry. An industry which had always fascinated him, this provided secondary employment when he was starting out and incidentally, almost became a career for him in his earlier working life.

Michael joined the executive of CPHBA in 2021 and was elected Chair in 2023. He has been driving the strategic direction of the association and has been instrumental in changing the identity to Business West; in order to better promote our members throughout Auckland.
