Olympic & Paralympic Sport Leader | Performance & Team Coach | High-Performance Culture Specialist
Matt is a member of the Human Innovation and Performance Team at Laing O'Rourke, joining in late 2024 from British Triathlon where he was the Head of Performance People and Culture Development through two Olympic and Paralympic cycles. Matt has had a 20-year career at the forefront of human performance in elite, professional and Olympic and Paralympic sport. His experience spans a Rugby World Cup, three Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, and professional and international rugby—as both a player and coach—alongside a range of other high-performance environments in sport and business.
A high-energy facilitator and coach, he blends real-world leadership experience with deep curiosity about how people and teams come together to achieve extraordinary things. He believes our human experience is shaped by a fundamental need for belonging and to feel a sense of value, and he helps leaders and teams unlock this to perform at their best.
