International consultancy Steer has announced a new global role within its leadership structure. Mike Goggin assumes the role of Managing Director Transformation and Growth to help the business achieve its visionary strategy for growth. Mike will continue to sit on the Company’s global executive team working alongside Executive and Regional Directors. 

Steer’s forward plans and strategy build on a period of growth and sets out clear ambitions for further sustainable and material growth to a company with strengthened and new skills, a turnover of £100m - meeting its global goals to help people, places and economies thrive across cities, infrastructure, and transport.

In recent years, Steer has grown significantly establishing an economic development practice (Steer Economic Development) in the UK while also acquiring a similar business in the USA (Fourth Economy) and made numerous significant appointments in financial advisory, electric vehicles and sustainability and decarbonisation disciplines across its global business.

“Steer has proven to be an agile and resilient business centred on delivering trusted advice that is grounded in impartiality and ingenuity. We are now incredibly well placed to deliver transformative growth and have the ambition to evolve and develop how our business exists and delivers to clients throughout our global network of offices.”  “After three successful years leading the UK business, I am incredibly excited to be working with colleagues across the globe to help Steer evolve and grow on our mission to help people, places and economies thrive. I’m particularly enthusiastic to be supporting the growth of our financial advisory, electric vehicles, sustainability and decarbonisation disciplines.”

Between 2010 and 2012, Mike left Steer to take up a senior role with Network Rail and his previous experience includes working for a UK Train Operator and Franchise Bid Director for MTR.
