Matt Patterson

I am a payments and fintech specialist with more than ten years’ experience leading teams of >70-80 (directly and indirectly), to drive growth and innovation in sales, product management, and operations.

A combination of hands-on experience, data-driven decision-making, and a reputation for delivering exceptional business outcomes, especially in challenging markets, has resulted in the opportunity to grow my career, taking on increasing levels of responsibility over time.

Here are a few highlights so far:
• Achieved sales growth of >25% YOY, and increased payment portfolio profits by 30% through a combination of new business acquisition and delivery of AUD3M in negotiated cost reductions.
• Launched three new payment terminals, including Tyro's flagship Android terminal, within a 12-month period.
• Pioneered the implementation of NPS at Tyro, achieving a baseline of +50 over a 3 year time period.
• Led cross-sell initiatives, which resulted in a 40% increase in new product sales over an 4 year time period.
• Achieved the highest employment engagement scores in 2017-2022 (years) exceeding 80%.
• Led several key acquisitions including Guzman Y Gomez, Merivale Group, and Sleeping Giant.

I have consistently and successfully led teams through change and transformation phases. This, combined with a relentless focus on innovation and enhancing the customer experience sets me apart.
