Welcome to Mike Schwarz's web site

I have established these pages to showcase my skills, the professional capabilities and extensive experience I have built up during my career.

Current Situation
I started my current role as Chief Executive Officer of the International Institute of Marine Surveying in January 2014 (www.iims.org.uk). Based in Portchester, Hampshire, I am engaged in shaping the Institute for future years to come, a role I thoroughly enjoy. This includes streamlining processes and procedures and looking for ways to drive revenue streams and reduce expenditure.
