Matt is a Senior Business Leader with a wealth of experience in technology and corporate life. He is very focused on business solutions that make an impact for clients and uses the same mantra when working with the humanitarian sector.

He left the British Army in 1996 to learn how to be a civilian taking on various jobs including, Barman, Airline Steward, Hotel Concierge, Food & Beverage Manager and a Driving School Manager. Matt joined Vodafone as Learning & Development Manager in 2007. Ten years later, he was Vodafone’s Head of Consulting and Innovation for Middle East and Africa.

Matt became a IARAN Fellow, because he is passionate about making a real difference. He wants to bring in the private sector angle to NGO strategic thinking and use his background of consulting and innovation to support futures preparation.
