Background

About Matthew Baker

I’m a strategic technology leader who thrives on learning, exploring new ideas, and using technology as a catalyst to improve organisational outcomes and enhance how people work. I bring a balance of operational discipline and adaptability - I’m highly organised yet flexible; driven to deliver results while remaining grounded in my core values of growth, curiosity, challenge, and authenticity. With an ability to simplify complexity and quickly grasp new concepts, I help organisations navigate change and unlock opportunities through the thoughtful adoption of technology. I am passionate about building strong, collaborative relationships with teams and stakeholders, enabling me to solve problems, bridge divides, and create positive outcomes. As a leader, I combine empathy with accountability, fostering high-performing, resilient teams by providing the right balance of challenge, support, and autonomy. I focus on understanding what motivates people and take pride in guiding, coaching, and mentoring others so they can thrive, grow, and achieve meaningful results. I lead with authenticity and transparency, always keeping the bigger picture in mind. I’m able to align people, technology, and strategy to deliver outcomes that benefit the organisation, customers, and teams. My leadership style nurtures a culture of continuous learning, where mistakes are seen as opportunities and innovation is celebrated. I love learning, leading, and inspiring others to push towards ambitious goals. I create environments where individuals and teams grow together, explore new ideas, and contribute to meaningful, sustainable progress.
