Mike Pero
Mike Pero is best known for his success in the mortgage industry. He built the brand Mike Pero Mortgages from a one man band in 1990 to become, by far, the largest independent mortgage company in New Zealand business history. In 2004 the company went public achieving a capital value of $25 million.
Today the company has close to 50 franchised operators and can claim to have provided more than 60,000 Kiwis with combined home loan values in excess of $8 billion. Mike has sold his interests but remains a director who, as a consultant, is instrumental in its marketing direction.
In 2004 Mike built a second franchised operation – this time in a totally different industry. Since starting, Flight Experience™ has quickly expanded across the world with more than a dozen million dollar flight simulators operating as entertainment and pilot training devices (based upon the Boeing 737).
Mike is passionate about marketing, brand building and ultimately growing small companies into larger or more profitable businesses.
