About Michael

“I have come to believe that the truest measure of our work is not what we deliver, but who we help people become.”

Michael Segun Ojo has spent over a decade turning complex questions into clear evidence, then helping leaders act on it. As an evaluation and impact measurement leader, and former Head of Research and Impact at the British and Foreign Bible Society, he has directed research across a 100+ country portfolio, advised UK government departments, and shaped programmes from the Lake Chad Basin to Whitehall.

A Cambridge-certified executive coach, certified project manager (PMP, 2019) and award-winning analyst, he pairs methodological rigour with a deeply human conviction that good evidence and good coaching help people become who they are meant to be. He brings the same clarity to a boardroom, a conference stage and a one-to-one conversation.

Evaluation & Impact Measurement

Theory of change, process and outcome evaluation that stands up to scrutiny.

Executive Coaching

Cambridge-certified coaching for leaders navigating growth and change.

Leadership Development

Building the capability of leaders and teams to deliver and grow.

Research & Learning

Mixed-methods MERL that turns data into decisions and lasting learning.

How I partner with you

Part architect. Part midwife.

Every leader and team I work with needs two things: a clear path forward, and someone to walk it with them. I bring both.

The Transition Architect

“I design the bridge from where you are to where you are meant to be, and walk it with you.”

When the future feels uncertain, I turn it into a clear, evidenced path, and stay with you until you have crossed it.

The Growth Midwife

“I guide people and teams through the hardest, most transformative passages, and help them deliver something new.”

When the stakes are high and the work is hard, I hold the space, ask the questions that matter, and help something new come to life.
