Straight out of school Michael Watts went to work at Wesfarmers, initially in IT, working his way through to corporate finance, studying IT and finance degrees along the way.
Moving into management and software consulting, he then set up his own company, To Be Advisory in 2019. The name comes from the fact that he did not know what to call his company at first, so when people asked him, he said ‘to be advised’. The name stuck. He now consults in operational efficiency, business growth and ESG. In his spare time, he dabbles in standup comedy, as does his wife.
“It never stops, and you’ve just got to keep going. Yes, you can take a break. I’m not saying you can never take a break, but when you take your foot off the pedal, the business takes its foot off the pedal,” ~ Michael Watts
