Max Thomson established the project management company Spitfire Control in 2012, after a mediocre career in design, bringing creativity to the land of the woolly cardigan. As was pointed out to him by an overly opinionated designer, the name says it all. A good project manager will “spit fire, and be controlling”!
A veritable sheep in sheep’s clothing. Max’s impossibly short attention span, willingness to compromise at the drop of a hat, and pathological distaste of conflict bring a fluffy veneer to the brutal practice of project management which makes him the obvious choice for clients looking for an easy life. In the crowded days of Spitfire Control, Max has dozed off at meetings with LinkedIn, Morningstar, DLA Piper, Diageo, Samsung, and Clemenger to name a few.
