Great job Mat. I remember becoming head of TV in multi-nationals at 21 years old and can relate to the ageism issue – mind you being a female and young was particularly challenging. Stories to tell!
It’s fantastic to see good people recognised however they come.

Good interview Tim. Age shouldn’t be relevant if you’re the right person for the job.
Mat’s already had an impressive career and will do well with UM in Australia. Can’t help thinking though that he’s destined for even bigger things in the future.
