About

A partnership built for the questions that don't have obvious answers.

Placeholder text. Easaw & Michael advises founders, boards and family offices at moments of transition — growth, transaction, succession or repair.

Easaw & Michael was founded by Easaw George and Michael Iyoha, two London-based operators who spent their careers inside Deloitte's advisory practice and Amazon's leadership programmes before deciding to back smaller businesses directly.

We invest in small, owner-managed UK businesses and partner with founders who are ready to step back — preserving the name over the door, the team, and the legacy they have built. Our approach is hands-on: governance that holds, commercial discipline, and operational systems that compound over years rather than quarters.

Each mandate is led personally by one of the two founders. Scope, fees and the terms of involvement are agreed in writing before any work begins.

The founders

Two cofounders, and the experience behind them.

Easaw George

Cofounder — Risk Governance & Operational Architecture

Easaw is based in London and is the cofounder of Easaw & Michael, an investor in small, owner-managed UK businesses. He partners with founders who are ready to step back, taking a hands-on approach to preserve their legacy, protect their workforce, and steward the business into its next chapter of sustainable growth.

Easaw brings a rare combination of enterprise risk governance, high-velocity operational architecture and corporate strategy. At Amazon, he owned European onboarding and network lifecycle strategy within Amazon Shipping — driving multi-million-pound revenue protection initiatives and scaling network coverage. As part of Amazon's Pathways Leadership Program, he directed 150+ person operational teams handling 1.8M weekly shipments, re-engineering network allocation models to deliver a 66% surge in throughput capacity.

Earlier in his career, Easaw spent six years at Deloitte Advisory advising C-suite leaders at Fortune 50 retail and manufacturing groups on enterprise risk, cybersecurity and large-scale digital transformation. He led solutions safeguarding $75M+ in monthly transaction volumes and shaped cross-market go-to-market strategies that unlocked tens of millions in enterprise pipeline.

Michael Iyoha

Cofounder — Commercial Strategy & Finance

Michael is based in London and is the cofounder of Easaw & Michael, an investor in small, owner-managed UK businesses. He partners with founders who are ready to step back — preserving the name over the door, the team, and the legacy they have built.

Michael brings a rare combination of operational, commercial and financial depth. At Amazon, he built and led global sales-planning and commercial-operations frameworks across four geographies, and previously ran some of the UK's largest robotic fulfilment centres as part of Amazon's Operations Leadership Development Programme.

Earlier in his career, he advised private equity firms, conglomerates and multinational investors on transactions, restructuring and due diligence as a consultant at Deloitte — work spanning financial modelling, group restructuring and cross-border diligence mandates.
