Ways to Engage
Matthew brings thirty years of entrepreneurial leadership, experience across manufacturing, global operations, sales, and marketing - sharpened by the cross-cultural fluency to know what works in one market can fall flat in another. Built in real organisations, across real markets, under real pressure.
Whether your business is navigating a strategic inflection point, needs sustained senior counsel through a period of growth, or requires an independent board voice with genuine operational depth, there is an engagement model designed to fit.
Three options are available. Each delivers the same thing: direct access to someone who has faced the problems you are dealing with, and solved them.
Strategic Review & Advisory Day
A single intensive day - in-person or remote - working through one high-stakes strategic question. Pre-work completed in advance; a structured output document delivered within five working days. Matthew brings his full cross-market, cross-function experience to the problem and gives the leadership team a clear point of view, not a framework to work through themselves.
Retained Strategic
Advisor
Ongoing monthly engagement providing structured strategic support across the business cycle.
Matthew becomes a consistent presence the leadership team can think with - not someone who shows up quarterly and catches up from scratch.
Non-Executive Director
A formal Non-Executive Director engagement, governed by a standard NED letter of appointment.
Matthew attends board meetings, chairs or contributes to appropriate sub-committees, and brings independent challenge and international market perspective to the full board cycle.
Beyond the Boardroom
Matthew is as committed to his life outside work as he is the businesses he works with. He is a proud father and husband and enjoys spending time with his family, whether chilling out at home or travelling the global for new experiences. A committed cyclist and a regular in the gym, he trains with longevity in mind. He always has a couple of books on the go, reading widely across business, philosophy and self-development, driven by a genuine belief that the pursuit of new knowledge never stops.
