About Matthew Toohey

With over two decades of dynamic leadership across diverse operational landscapes, I am passionate about fostering growth, driving excellence, and igniting transformative change. From remote mine sites to urban hubs, I thrive on crafting high-performing teams, leading process enhancements, and chasing ambitious targets. I am knowledgeable in remote operational management across Australia. KEY HIGHLIGHTS Driving Operational Excellence: Adept at optimising performance across contracts while championing innovative solutions and best practices. My strategic approach has consistently fuelled year-on-year growth, strengthening customer satisfaction, and fortifying bottom-line results. Building Empowered Teams: Firmly believing in the adage "people first, profit follows," I cultivate environments where diversity thrives, excellence is the norm, and collaboration flourishes. By prioritising hiring well and nurturing employees, I empower teams to surpass expectations and foster strong client relationships. Financial Stewardship: With P&L accountability extending to multimillion-dollar portfolios, I navigate complexities with finesse, identifying avenues for cost containment, revenue optimisation, and sustainable growth. My keen eye for financial dynamics ensures strategic alignment and operational resilience. My career journey has been with ISS Facility Services for the past 16 years in key progressive roles, from Project Management to National Leadership, shaping organisational strategy, and operational effectiveness. I enjoyed a secondment as General Manager where I was entrusted with leading a pivotal contract for Government Victoria Schools, where we orchestrated operational enhancements, nurtured stakeholder relationships, and upheld service excellence across 262 schools. My early career was founded in hands-on operational roles at esteemed hospitality establishments, honing my acumen in P&L management, customer service, and staff empowerment. These formative experiences continue to shape my leadership ethos today.
