Michael Robbins has over 25 years of experience in financial services and he has contributed to the capitalization of 500 companies that raised hundreds of millions of dollars. As an investor relations account executive on Wall Street, Michael introduced dozens of public company CEOs to hundreds of brokers, analysts, and fund managers. He helped his clients refine their presentations while gaining insights into the scrutiny applied by some of the nation's leading financial analysts.

Michael launched and managed a hedge fund before departing New York for Sydney, Australia, where he traded the fund and started a new investor relations agency. He has worked in an array of verticals with a specialty in technology, real estate, and socially responsible investing. While Down Under, he initiated analyst earnings call webcasts for some of Australia's largest companies, supported by his colleagues in the States who started the industry that ultimately led to Regulation FD.

He programmed some of the world's first investor relations websites in 1995 and taught Wall Street's budding Internet analysts about some of the finer points of cookies and encryption. Thus it was inevitable that Michael would start his own Internet business, ZeroKlix, which eventually would stream about half the online radio in Australia. Returning to his strengths in critical analysis, he began writing strategic business plans, valuation reports, and PPMs full time in 2002. He has since added management consulting, cinematic investor presentations, and SEC filings to his repertoire.

Michael holds a BS in Economics from the University of Colorado, with substantial coursework in Journalism, complemented with accounting from New York University.
