Legacy Builder
Enabler & Strategist
Dr Michale Matthew
I am dedicated to enabling businesses, women, and Africa’s creative economy rise, thrive, and leave legacies that transform lives
For over two decades, I have brought clarity and structure to tackle complex challenges in business, shaping industries and guiding business leaders toward sustainable impact.
As Founder and Group CEO of MPD Group, and Director of Origination & Structuring at Argent Global Partners, I have worked across banking, energy, telecoms, fintech, and real estate, providing strategies that scale businesses and open doors to growth opportunities.
I have applied the same principles that drive high–level boardroom strategy to grassroots creative empowerment. For years, I have lectured at the Lagos Business School and the Multichoice Talent Factory, teaching ‘The Business Of Film‘ to equip creatives with financial and business literacy. My book, ‘The Game Of Money‘, distills these lessons into practical tools for creatives navigating the economics of storytelling.
Through my non–profit, InCircle Creative Foundation, I champion the development of Africa’s creative industry. The foundation drives strategic partnerships and equips professionals through three flagship platforms:
InCircle Business Forum: equipping creatives; filmmakers, designers, musicians etc, with tools for business growth, and sustainable monetization.
Leading Ladies in Business Forum: empowering emerging women leaders through mentorship, networking and structured discourse.
The One–Voice Concert: uniting hearts through powerful creative expressions that inspire hope.
With decades of pastoral experience, I boldy share God’s word across various spheres of life and peoples, positively touching lives, and leading many to Christ, healing, and transformation. I am passionate about bringing hope to a broken world through the power of God’s word.
My purpose is simple yet profound: to enable people, businesses, and industries to rise to their fullest potential, building legacies that outlive them and creating futures where others can thrive.
Dear Michale, you truly blew us up today with your lecture on the business of film,
I will never forget how you meticulously took us through the different steps of building a lifelong viable business using the various methods you highlighted
Immediately the entire class could connect with the facts you made clear, Thanks a million, and please watch us blossom with the techniques you gave us.

Investment discussions have never been so easy and relatable! This is extremely important as the media industry is in dire need of information like this to build the structure required for it to thrive.
Well Done!
You are an inspiration to many people and your wealth of wisdom is enviable. God Bless You.

A succinctly presented business class, excellently and simply delivered
Thank you very much for the class, I truly enjoyed the session. I have learnt a lot that I intend to use in all future projects. Thank you again for making me realize that as an Actor/Producer “Intelligence and integrity will answer my issues not money”. Muna Gode, thank you.

Went into film school with the aim of being a director but after Dr. Michales lectures, things changed drastically for me. The world of film financing opened up in technicolor and I haven’t looked back!

More than anything, what I remember most from Dr. Michale’s class is how full of possibility I felt. I left empowered. She emphasised the importance of putting structure around creative output, and how building a business provides that structure. With structure, your creativity not only flows better, it also commands greater value.
My book, The Game Of Money, is on the way. It distills lessons from my lectures at the Lagos Business School and The Multichoice Talent Factory into practical tools for creatives navigating the economics of storytelling. More details soon!
