Background
Matt spent nine years in business development and retail leadership at Z Energy before moving into general management roles at Save My Bacon and Droppoint.
More recently, he was an Investment Attraction Specialist at ChristchurchNZ, promoting the city to investors and businesses looking to grow there, then Commercial Business Partner at Pegasus Health.
He joined LINK Business as Regional Sales Manager backed by an established career across retail, energy, health and government, as well as an MBA from the University of Canterbury and a BSc from the University of Glasgow.
Matt's approach
Selling a business is a sales process before it's a legal one, and Matt has spent his career on the commercial side of exactly that: reading a market, finding the right buyer and getting a deal over the line.
Nine years in business development and retail leadership at Z Energy built the sales fundamentals: pipeline, negotiation and closing. His time as an Investment Attraction Specialist at ChristchurchNZ was effectively sales at a bigger scale, pitching the city itself to investors and businesses weighing up whether to commit.
As Commercial Business Partner at Pegasus Health, he worked on the advisory side, helping make sound commercial decisions rather than just chasing a number. Add general management roles at Save My Bacon and Droppoint, and he has run teams and P&Ls as well as sold into them.
That mix of sales, investment attraction, commercial advisory and general management gives Matt a broker's instinct for what a buyer needs to hear, and the management background to understand what a vendor is really weighing up.
