Mike Powell

Mike Powell is a former British newspaper and radio journalist who hosted top-rated morning shows on several UK music radio stations before transitioning to station management. He was Program Director of County Sound (Guildford, UK) from 1984 to 1986 and then CEO from 1986 to 1991 - growing the group to eight radio stations.

After taking County Sound to a full UK stock market listing, he formed his own radio investment, research and management company, Infinity Radio, which set up Pirate FM (Cornwall) with Powell as launch CEO. Infinity then merged with UKRD Group where Powell became CEO - eventually building the group to well over 20 radio stations and associated companies including Kiss 102, Star FM and 96.4 The Eagle. In 2001 Powell became Chairman of Infinity Media which then separated from UKRD to concentrate on digital platform technologies. In October 2002, he joined broadcast software company RCS where he is currently Senior Vice President of its International Division and Chief Compliance Officer.
