Matthew is dedicated to sharing a working lifetime of experience in senior management to bolster the success of executives, non-executive directors and their organisations. Matthew’s expertise has been enhanced by a close working association with some of
Australia’s most prominent Chairmen, NEDs and CEOs. This has enabled him to act as counsel to bring clarity to complex managerial problems and relationships.

As Chief of Staff and Group Executive Public Affairs at AMP for 16 years Matthew managed innumerable issues and crises for both individuals and the company as well as public advocacy campaigns, IPOs, takeovers, divestments and AGMs. He frequently assisted in growing the skills of future leaders and acting as a sounding board for NED’s and members of the senior team. Matthew’s team was consistently rated as the most engaged at AMP and consequently his advice was sought on best practice approaches to managing departments and assisting with strategies for functions to engage effectively with the organisation.

Before joining AMP, Matthew held a similar role with the dynamically expanding Colonial Ltd where he was involved most notably in many acquisitions, devising and implementing strategies to obtain licences to operate in China and Vietnam, and refreshing the brand. Matthew joined Colonial from Carlton United Breweries (CUB) where he had worked closely with the establishment of breweries in China and establishing programs for the responsible use of alcohol. Prior to CUB Matthew was for six years General Manager Public Affairs at the ANZ Group where he was the youngest appointment to the senior management team.
