Design Lead and Practitioner. With a genuine passion to foster and deliver excellence.
Welcome to my online profile. Where you can get to know the person behind the CV.
I've provided a brief insight into my experience as
↘︎ Design lead
↘︎ People leader
↘︎ Practitioner
I've also provided a few examples. Demonstrating where I have aimed to make a positive impact, to both teams and products.
​
Much of my work is unsurprisingly protected by NDA. But I have endeavoured to included some extremely small samples.
To be clear: Although I do have extensive leadership experience, I carry with me, an equally extensive career as a hands on Practitioner.
↘︎ It's the opinion of those around us, that tell the real story.
Danny, Team Member
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Mike at LSEG and I can say that I don't think I've met a more passionate design leader than Mike.
Mike hired me to join the mobile team and, in a way, mentored me. I was really impressed with how at every opportunity he would try to get everyone in his team to grow in confidence and he wanted to give visibility of everyone’s good work to the wider team and organisation.
He fostered a spirit of collaboration, he encouraged everyone to do design critiques and was passionate about producing elegant and scalable design solutions. Mike has a big voice, the voice of experience and people listen to what he has to say. He has a huge heart, a great sense of humour and I would jump at the chance to work with him again.
Every organisation needs someone like Mike to grab the bull by the horns and say it as it is. A true professional."
Giorgio, People Leader
"I had the pleasure of managing Mike Ansher directly for about three years at Refinitiv/LSEG, where he served as a Senior Design Manager.
Mike's leadership style is what truly set him apart. He was not only a skilled designer but also an incredibly compassionate and empathetic manager. Mike led both the Workspace mobile and office teams, consistently delivering high-quality results.
Mike is not only a top-notch designer. His deep experience in financial services, spanning over 12 years, gives him a strong understanding of the investment banking, trading, and wealth sectors, which was invaluable in driving design solutions that truly resonated with our customers.
His team absolutely loved working with him, and he took great care in supporting each member, ensuring everyone had the opportunity to shine and receive credit for their work. Mike fostered a positive, collaborative environment that motivated the team to excel.
Mike grew significantly during his time at LSEG, and it was a privilege to witness that growth. I could always rely on Mike to deliver against challenging objectives, and his ability to involve our stakeholder was incredible. I highly recommend Mike without hesitation and sincerely hope to work with him again in the future."
