Michael Tellis

Mentor of the Year 2024
Mentor since 2020

Michael started his working life as an accountant, lived in Calgary and London for a couple of years and returned to Adelaide to settled down and start a family. Working in corporate recovery for a few years taught him that businesses fail because they run out of cash not because they don’t make a profit.

His forte is building customer relationships and working with people. In 2022 Michael left Think180, the successful IT consulting practice he co-founded with three IT experts and turned to his latest venture, developing the Numente Framework. The Numente Framework provides a step-by-step guide to taking an unfulfilled dream, defining it as a desire, understanding laws of success and taking inspired action to receive that dream into your life.

He is a big fan of enjoying the journey (challenges and setbacks included), for that is how growth comes.
