Bringing Two Decades of Energy Sector Leadership and Global Operational Excellence
Michael Clarke has joined Engage Consulting as a Senior Consultant, bringing with him over two decades of experience in leading large-scale operational teams across the global energy and retail sectors.
Michael’s extensive background spans senior leadership roles in Operational Delivery, Program Management, as well as Training and Technical Delivery worldwide. His expertise includes regulatory strategy, energy market design, and operational excellence – areas that align with our commitment to helping clients navigate the evolving energy landscape.
Transformational Leadership Experience
Most recently at ASDA, Michael played a pivotal role in one of Europe’s largest retail transformation programmes. He has extensive experience in operational and project delivery, building relationships within UK markets and with BPO partners in India, South Africa, and the Philippines. His key responsibilities included delivering the rollout of a new Customer Relationship Management system as part of this three-year change project.
Michael has spent over 20 years in this sector, working for British Gas, E.ON, and npower in leading the deployment of high-impact business cases, re-shaping operating models, and delivering strategic roadmaps in support of business transformation and innovation.
A Strategic Addition to Our Team
Michael’s appointment reinforces our commitment to providing clients with the highest calibre of expertise as they address the challenges and opportunities within today’s dynamic energy market. His calm demeanour and logical approach to complex challenges make him ideally suited to support our clients through regulatory changes, operational transformations, and strategic initiatives.

Michael’s addition to our senior consulting team strengthens our capacity to deliver comprehensive, data-driven solutions that address the multifaceted challenges facing energy market participants today.
