Investor, chairman, and sportsman — building across energy, medicine, film, and finance for over four decades.
From chartered accountant to chairman of his first public company before thirty, Max Lewinsohn has spent a career backing ideas that matter — cleaner energy, regenerative medicine, and the creative industries — while never losing sight of the tennis court or the ski slopes.
ExploreWhen Max Lewinsohn's father died while Max was still a young man, the future changed overnight. A sports scholarship at UCLA was set aside, and in its place came the disciplined path of chartered accountancy. It was not the life Max had planned, but it proved to be the foundation for everything that followed.
What began in financial services quickly became something broader. By his late twenties, Max was chairman of his first public company. Over the next four decades, he would invest in and guide six public companies and numerous private ventures across Europe, South East Asia, and the United States — spanning real estate, energy, healthcare, and entertainment.
The thread connecting all of it is a willingness to cross boundaries that most people treat as permanent. The same person who helped float Chelsea Football Club on the Stock Exchange through his stake in Seymour Pierce went on to chair Film Finances, the world's leading film completion guarantor. The same person who spoke at the Global CleanTech Summit in China now leads MicroPower Global, developing semiconductor technology to convert industrial waste heat into clean electricity.

Film Finances has guaranteed over 6,000 productions with combined budgets exceeding $17 billion, backing films like Rainman during Max's era to more recent award-winning films like The King's Speech.

A lifelong supporter who played a direct role in the club's history — helping to float Chelsea on the Stock Exchange through his stake in Seymour Pierce. Decades of matchdays, European finals, and friendships forged in the stands.
From Park City to heli-skiing deep powder in the Canadian Rockies and Jackson Hole, Max trades the boardroom for the mountain with the same intensity he brings to everything else.
Captain of the British junior team. The trophies date back to 1960 — the competitive spirit never left.
Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup — there for all of it.
