Matt is a Principal Consultant and Co-Founder of FPC. Over the course of his 10-years in consulting Matt has led or substantively contributed over 150 projects, and developed a comprehensive understanding of diverse content areas and practices. His passion is working with clients and program partners to address challenging problems and needs in a pragmatic and adaptable manner. 

Matt works on projects that span the environment, health and social sectors, with clients of all types domestically and internationally. He is recognised for his adaptable approach, and consideration for both short-term and strategic long-term needs. This has resulted in strong and ongoing relationships with multiple organisations.
