Background

About Matt Patterson

I am a seasoned Executive Manager with 25+ years of leadership experience in diverse industries, from utilities to family businesses. I excel in orchestrating business transformation and navigating complex change management scenarios, leveraging my skills in strategy development, program management, financial oversight, and operations management. My career is marked by numerous achievements, including the delivery of a $300M Capital and Maintenance program aligning with organisational KPIs, driving employee engagement up by 15%, and implementing cost controls that led to a 5% OPEX reduction and generated $5M in annual cost benefits. I have also successfully relocated $80M worth of gas assets on time and under budget, saving $2.5M through stakeholder alignment and negotiation. As an effective team leader, I've managed teams as large as 475 members across geographically dispersed areas, fostering high-performance cultures that emphasise safety-first attitudes and continuous improvement. My efforts have resulted in significant improvements in LTIFR rates, project completion timelines, and customer connection rates. If you're looking for someone who can lead your team through change, drive operational efficiency while keeping a tight rein on budgets, and build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels – then let's connect! I'm ready to make a difference.
