“Mat is is a true design leader with a highly effective and targeted approach to deliver agreed business results and evidence based customer value. When I had the privilege to work with Mat at Westpac I was especially impressed by his deep digital domain knowledge and operational experience of delivering world class products to the market. He is a natural collaborator taking the business stakeholders on the journey with him and his fluency in agile methodologies has earned him the respect of the technical people as well. He is targeted, process driven but still enables his team to drive the most creative thinking that only delivers the best solution possible to users out there. Mat is a delight to work with. Considerate, sensitive and inclusive in his approach, he always takes the time to listen carefully and help where possible. He has built an absolutely amazing team that he cares deeply about. He fosters new talent and brings them on an amazing learning journey with him. Mat is an inspiring design leader and one of the very best downunder!”
