ABOUT NEIL MACDONALD
I’m Neil, a high-achieving sales leader and investor with a history of making strategic goals a reality. Having achieved outstanding outcomes as a strategic sales leader in the mobile, software, and fintech market, in recent years I’ve evolved into a specialist in the scale-up and M&A space. My knowledge of scaling, VC, PE and due diligence is expert level. I’ve been a key driving force behind 6 acquisitions, notably leading due diligence on 4 x 8-figure mergers. Most recently I played a major role in the successful majority stock funding raise in Sequent by TIS Inc. I was also pivotal in the acquisition and merger of VoiceTrust with LumenVox having provided insight into strategic options for the business, positioning it for exit and fronting the initial approach with candidates. I’ve had great success in helping companies to increase their worth; previously realising $800m total acquisition prices. My commercial acumen and entrepreneurial flair have been central to my success. Identifying and maximising opportunities is something I excel at. Previously I directly orchestrated market disruptive deals with Samsung, Sony, BP, Intel, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Huawei and TCL leading to order values totalling $200m+ and user-acquisition volumes exceeding 400m users. Straight talking, focused and results driven, I’ve frequently been recognised for delivering exceptional outcomes. I’m versatile and agile, enabling me to rapidly assimilate to new working environments and meet challenges. As a master networker and influencer at all levels, I build business alliances and strategic partnerships with ease. Aside from my main career I’m often invited to speak at international industry events.
