In this episode, we meet Mike Hannan, Owner and Operator of Spark Business Hub Auckland-West. Mike’s career path reflects adaptability and insight. Starting in marketing and sales with companies like DB Breweries and Treasury Wine Estates, he learned how to understand customers, build brands, and drive results across a range of industries.

Recognising the opportunities in technology, Mike pivoted into a new space: helping businesses use digital tools to grow. At Spark Business Hub Auckland-West, he now applies his broad experience to help local companies harness the power of IT solutions, cloud communications, and cybersecurity. His approach is grounded in empathy — understanding that many small and medium businesses struggle to translate tech into practical outcomes.
