Having worked with Mike Coady in the Middle East for several years, I built up a strong respect for his consistency, commitment and attention to detail. He exhibited excellent leadership skills and a proactive approach to developing those people who reported to him. This has resulted in his well-deserved growth and development within the deVere Group and the promotion and growth of many members of his team, who have followed in his success.

The Person Behind the Brand

Mike’s track record and accomplishments merit their own space. But the man behind the brand is an approachable people’s person and family man.

Mike was born in Shrewsbury to a dad with a busy career in oil and gas. He attended boarding school in the UK before gaining a taste of the wider world thanks to his father’s overseas job postings. As a child, he lived in Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Jeddah, Doha and Thailand among a string of other destinations – giving him a particularly broad and well-rounded worldview.

He later found himself back in the UK, where he attended Royal Shrewsbury School. Mike’s business acumen was obvious from his school days – where business studies particularly fascinated him. It’s almost cliché, but Monopoly is still his favorite board game – because he says it plays to his two key strengths: strategising and wealth management.

Mike studied at Birmingham University –Manufacturing Engineering and Business Studies.

When taking a few minutes away from a hectic career creating customer-centric success stories, he prefers somewhat more relaxing activities – such as spending time being active and working on his personal development. He likes travelling and is ready to head out to new adventures at the drop of a hat.
