About Matt Dobbin

I have more than 25 years' experience in strategy, consulting, ventures and technology that I have combined to design and build groundbreaking ventures and global digital platforms that solve the key problems facing organizations, markets and society.My key skill is in providing the valuable bridge between business value and the power of technology and how an integrated solution can deliver sustainable benefits to the market. My background in strategy development to then architect and deliver market defining solutions/ platforms that blend innovative ecosystem models and translating this into business and societal value is a core asset in how I work.Critically, I am also able to bring a true ventures mindset to develop business models that can be easily scaled across geographies and industries; that are not reliant on traditional cost and revenue methodologies; and that explore inorganic growth options, platforms, PPPs, JVs, alliances and managed service type arrangements. Areas of focus have included: cloud, IoT, Cyber, supply chain, sustainability, Indigenous, logistics, health, smart cities, payments, asset management and digital government.This is underpinned by my relationship and leadership skills that have seen me work with senior stakeholders globally in the public and private sectors and build and lead large and diverse high performing teams - all with a focus on delivering outcomes that make a real difference.I have an extensive background in strategy development for start-ups, scale-ups and enterprise clients which I have then augmented with deep technology, platform and M&A expertise. This skill set has seen me build a number of businesses, markets and propositions over the past 25 years working with clients in Australia, USA, UK, Middle East, Europe, Asia and New Zealand where I have held a number of senior leadership roles.
