As a former Managing Director at Ford Credit Europe plc, Matt brings a wealth of corporate leadership experience having led multiple teams and business units across various geographies. Matt has led pan European transformation and restructuring programs, and has personally experienced many of the challenges facing business leaders today.
Throughout Matt’s corporate career, people development has always been both a priority and a passion.

As a coach and mentor, Matt takes immense satisfaction from supporting others along their career journey.
Matt’s presence and natural coaching style enables a creative process with supportive challenge to help teams and business leaders unlock new thinking. Matt is a great listener, also noticing what isn’t said, joining dots, enabling enhanced awareness and creating a safe space to think, reflect and explore. Matt coaches teams and business leaders who want to develop their influence, their effectiveness and successfully navigate the myriad of modern leadership challenges.
Matt is married with three boys and is passionate about drumming, photography and cycling. Like many of us, Matt personally struggled with the mental health consequences of lockdown. This led Matt to explore the drivers of good and bad mental health, he became a mental health first aider and embedded better mental health practices for himself and his team. He believes home life influences professional life and therefore looks at the bigger picture of each client’s situation to help them find the optimal balance.
