About Akopia

Independent by design. Hands-on by habit.

Akopia is an independent commercial consulting business for founders, business owners and investors. Led by Mike Dias, it brings sales experience into the work, not just the recommendations.

The experience behind Akopia.

My experience spans enterprise sales, partnerships, payments, digital identity and technology across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. That includes wallets, payments and commerce at Apple, and APAC sales at Mobeewave. That experience informs how I help teams navigate buying groups, assess partnerships and approach new markets.

Through Akopia, I work as an Operating Partner at SWIP4, an investment firm. I am currently fully embedded at Panop, one of the startups SWIP4 is investing in, working on sales, go-to-market strategy and partnerships.

Working directly with me

Akopia is my independent consulting practice. You work directly with me on which customers to pursue, how to reach them and the practical work of winning their business.

Current work and new enquiries

If someone has introduced you to Akopia, a little context on the business and why they connected us is enough to start a conversation. For new work, we discuss fit and timing before making any commitment.
