Mikey Kay Biography

Michael Kay is an accomplished television presenter, journalist, and former Royal Air Force officer, known for his compelling storytelling and fearless reporting from some of the world’s most challenging and volatile locations. After leaving the British Armed Forces, Kay began his career in media by spending the fall of 2013 in Beirut, where he hosted, directed, and produced a series of Telly Award-winning documentaries for the online news platform Vocativ. His work took him to regions such as Tripoli, Arsal, Mleeta, and the Qalamoun mountains, where he reported on the Free Syrian Army, mujahideen fighters, radical sheikhs, and Hezbollah. These reports were aired on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Kay’s continued commitment to international journalism saw him report from Kyrgyzstan in 2014, focusing on radical Islam, anti-gay legislation, and police corruption, and he also filmed for networks such as the Travel Channel and Discovery’s AHC.

Before transitioning to television, Kay served in the British Armed Forces for two decades as an assault helicopter pilot. His military career included operational tours in Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as humanitarian and diplomatic assignments in regions like Sumatra, India, and Africa. Kay quickly rose to Senior Officer status and spent his final years as an advisor within the UK’s Ministry of Defense. His military experience and global perspective are evident in his reporting, where he brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and dry British humor. This ability to connect with people while maintaining gravitas has made him a highly respected figure in both the military and media landscapes.

In addition to his military and journalistic endeavors, Kay has built a successful career in branded content production, founding his own company, RIGSO, after relocating to New York in 2012. RIGSO specializes in luxury content creation, with clients including VOGUE, Hourglass Cosmetics, and Conde Nast Entertainment. Outside of work, Kay is an avid adrenaline junkie, participating in triathlon training, motorbike racing, snowboarding, and open-water scuba diving. He also dedicates time to philanthropic efforts, serving on the Advisory Board of the Humane Society of New York. Kay’s multifaceted career and adventurous spirit continue to shape his influential presence in the worlds of journalism, television, and luxury branding.
