Bio

Matt joined Founders Pledge in early 2019 as People Director. Taking an untraditional route to People Operations, Matt started his career with Deloitte before moving into the Visual Effects industry, where he focused on building exceptional employee experiences, and then moved into the startup world. He strongly believes in the power of HR to unlock teams' potential and help great work happen.

Outside of work, Matt is a huge rugby fan and plays regularly (though isn't as fast as he used to be), an avid golfer and a musician. He also loves a good dad joke.

Q&A with Matt

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Derren Brown - I realise that by the end of the meal I will either be hypnotised or he will have stolen all of my possessions, but I reckon it would be worth it.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A musician. Or failing that, a Power Ranger.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

It would be a hybrid of musical, comedy and boring documentary. Probably starring Mark Ruffalo.
