Michael Barrell
Director
With over 7 years of experience in recruitment, Michael has spent the majority of his career partnering with high-growth SaaS and technology-led businesses across the UK and international markets. As a Director at YourPrime, he leads the team supporting clients in the FinTech, RegTech and Payments sectors, while personally specialising in recruiting Product talent into product-led software companies operating in niche and emerging tech markets.
Michael focuses exclusively on hiring across the Product function, from Product Managers and Product Designers through to Heads of Product and CPOs. He works closely with founders and leadership teams typically in Seed to Series C businesses to help them make strategic hires that shape product direction, improve execution and build long-term capability.
In addition to hands-on recruitment delivery, Michael is responsible for managing and developing YourPrime’s internal team, refining the company’s commercial strategy and supporting its continued growth.
Outside of work, Michael is an avid (though admittedly not very good) golfer who enjoys keeping fit, but is equally happy spending time with friends and family over a few drinks at the pub.
