We're happy to announce that Michael Sylva has joined Manyone as Group CFO and Global Partner. Sylva comes with a wealth of experience from the global design and strategy industry, his most recent position being a four year tenure as CFO/COO at Designit.

Client demand for design and strategy led by execution is growing exponentially and with it the leading international strategy-design firms are competing for the best talent on a global scale. Manyone is responding to this call by recruiting the best talent to support our growth. We're therefore very happy to welcome Michael Sylva as a Global Partner and our new Group CFO. He brings impressive industry knowledge and financial acumen, and his experience in scaling a global consultancy will play a significant part in maintaining Manyone's growth trajectory.

Manyone is on an exciting journey, one that I’ve been following for some time now, and I felt that this was a great moment to join. The feeling and vibe which is evident throughout the company is one of excitement, creativity, ambition, and opportunities. I’m especially looking forward to working with the strategic side of the company's finances, to provide the best foundation upon which we can plan, sustain and accelerate Manyone’s growth journey.
