Matt is a practitioner, not just an advisor. He currently serves as the Head of L&D at Nesta, the UK's innovation agency. There, he designs systems for leadership and culture change alongside world-class researchers.
He balances this role with independent consultancy, meaning he understands the pressure of risk and accountability firsthand.
Before Nesta, Matt was a school leader, managing the complex dynamics of students, staff, and families. This means he brings clients a rare mix of strategic rigour, frontline grit, and years of teaching practice.
Matt works solo by design. You get his experience and attention directly - no outsourcing to junior associates.
Matt uses strategic rigour and real-world empathy to solve complex people problems. He knows the high stakes of human dynamics because he has lived them. His work is built on three elements:
Matt doesn't assume he knows the answer. He uses diagnostic tools to find the root cause and ensure the work solves the right problem.
Curiosity, to diagnose needs
Compassion, to create a safe environment
Learning requires safety. Matt combines high standards with a non-judgmental approach to remove the defensiveness that blocks performance.
Critical thinking, to find a clear path
Lasting solutions need to be logical. Matt uses analytical thinking to ensure the work supports your actual business goals, not just L&D trends.
