For a quarter of a century with Ericsson and originally Marconi (acquired by Ericsson 2006); Matthew has worked across product management, sales, presales, and marketing in a variety of leadership roles, commanding budgets in the tens of millions of pounds, and P&Ls in Billions of SEK.
He currently heads up the Service Provider business in the UK, a diverse set of customers including Regional Service Providers, Enterprise and Public Sector such as Mission Critical applications in Public safety, Defense, Rail and Utilities. For the 6 years prior to this new role he was VP, Head of Live Marketing at Ericsson global, located in Stockholm: running all major events (like Mobile World Congress, Barcelona) our experience centres such as the Ericsson Imagine Studio Kista, and broad innovation demo portfolio. He led Ericsson through the pandemic by rapidly digitalising the marketing function to keep in touch with key external audiences (and each other!) whilst gracefully exiting face-to-face activities, and put in place all the transformation needed to emerge on the other side with a hybrid setup far ahead of the rest of the industry.
Matthew has relocated half a dozen times in his career, and has happily been at home in Stockholm (twice), California, Istanbul, Doha, and now again in the UK. He has been leading teams of many different scales since he was 25, and has been actively mentoring and realizing the benefits of strong mentors himself throughout his career. A practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), he most enjoys coaching aspiring leaders who want to focus on their interpersonal communication skills and also with career planning challenges. In his spare time over the past few years Matthew has enjoyed testing his mental and physical limits in ultra-marathons.
