Mike McGuire

Mike joined Ezoic in April 2013 after serving as an officer in the Royal Navy, reaching the rank of Commander. No stranger to technology, he employed, maintained, and developed state-of-the-art weapons, sensors, and computers. Primarily operations-focused, with tours in the Gulf, Balkans, Iraq, and on the recent NATO Libya operation, he commanded a squadron of fast patrol boats in Gibraltar conducting anti-terrorist patrols. When not on operations, he served as a defense diplomat in Germany, Canada, and Italy.

Mike holds a HNC in Engineering, BA(Hons) and MA with the UK’s Open University, and graduated with top honors from the Canadian Forces’ Joint Command and Staff Program—earning his second master’s degree, this time in Defense Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada. He speaks fluent German.

Originally from Manchester, he is a Manchester City fan—yup, there are two soccer teams from Manchester—and now lives with his wife, Jacqui, and rescue hound, Pickle, in the beautiful North East of England, where Ezoic has offices with great views of the River Tyne and the North Sea.
