An experienced cybersecurity leader, problem solver and innovator. Co-founder of the award winning InfoTrust, non-profit organisation The Cyber Security Alliance and most recently has created and launched security SaaS platform business, MyCISO.

Prior to MyCISO and having established a strong professional track record, InfoTrust was launched to bridge gaps in the way security solutions were being delivered. Our research and industry experience suggested a cultural shift toward technology “as a service” but what most vendors and service providers offered was a transactional relationship. InfoTrust grew rapidly on the premise that we coupled tech with continuous improvement engagement.

Matt's Bio: I joined Rippling in July 2023 to build our Asia Pacific business from the ground up. Starting in Australia with plans on further regional expansion, we are focused on becoming the leading all-in-one HR, Finance, and IT platform to support businesses to better manage their employees. 

I joined Slack in December 2019 to help lead our growth efforts across Asia Pacific -- 200+ people across Australia, New Zealand, India, and Singapore and continuing to aggressively scale the teams across most functions. 

After spending 11 years in Australia helping build and develop high performance sales teams across the SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise delivering customer success and hyper growth results at both LinkedIn and Salesforce.com, I spent 2014-2019 in San Francisco leading the enterprise sales teams for LinkedIn's Sales Navigator business. My family and I returned back to Sydney in late 2019.
