Founder & Principal Consultant, Texora10XGlobal. Manufacturing Operations & Management Consulting. Delhi, India.
26+ years of international manufacturing and operations experience across Africa, the Middle East and India — covering factory start-ups, greenfield development, manufacturing excellence, process engineering, Lean transformation and production optimisation.
Mike's career was built manufacturing for some of the world's most recognised apparel and footwear names — shown here as professional career context, not a Texora10XGlobal client list.
PVH — Calvin Klein / Tommy Hilfiger and Under Armour / American Eagle reflect Mike's prior employment (2017–2022); GEOX, PUMA and Liberty Shoes are current Texora10XGlobal engagements.
Mike's foundation is technical and operations-focused. He started his career directly in production and industrial engineering, building hands-on understanding of shop-floor processes, productivity, quality, manpower, machines, line balancing and factory performance — before ever leading a factory.
An interactive career timeline built directly from Mike's professional profile — countries, organisations, roles and documented outcomes.
Career start in manufacturing (from cut to sew) — involved in the start-up and development of stuck-on, canvas and direct-injection moulded (DIP) footwear production.
Moved into apparel manufacturing; involved in establishing and scaling factories in Mombasa, from initial set-up through production readiness and export execution.
General management of an export-facing apparel manufacturing operation.
Returned to Atraco Group in an operations-head capacity, continuing apparel EPZ manufacturing leadership.
Led the development and ramp-up of a greenfield, premium woven-shirt manufacturing facility — workforce development, industrial engineering, quality systems and Lean stabilisation.
Led a greenfield Phase-1 factory development, taking the operation to approximately 450 machines and 900+ employees within one year — including Lean line design, online quality checkpoints, ERP/KPI systems and export-programme readiness.
Led four manufacturing units through modular line design, bottleneck removal and real-time production management.
Moved into independent manufacturing transformation consulting, taking on footwear transformation assignments with GEOX Italia, PUMA India/GSB and Liberty Shoes — and founded Texora10XGlobal to bring this experience to clients as a dedicated platform.
A profitable operation needs the right balance of technical systems and people leadership. Mike builds both the manufacturing system and the organisation capable of sustaining it — creating clarity, measurable priorities and shared ownership across teams.
