About

Matt coleads the Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He primarily works with CFOs across their agenda, including ESG investor relations, resource allocation, and cash management. He convenes McKinsey’s annual CFO Forum, a gathering of more than 100 CFOs from leading institutions.

Working primarily at the intersection of natural resources and finance, Matt helps companies navigate the energy transition and climate risk, and embed purpose and ESG across their business.

Examples of Matt’s recent client work include:

• assessing and quantifying the value-at-stake from ESG risks and opportunities across more than 15 countries for a top oil and gas company
• designing the integrated fiscal management approach for the government of a resource-intensive economy
• driving a multicontinent working-capital transformation program at a top mining company that resulted in over $2 billion in cash release
• orchestrating the defense against a hostile takeover for an advanced manufacturing company
• calibrating a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to forecast trade flows over the next 25 years for a logistics company

During 2013 and 2014, Matt was the Ian Davis Fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute—our business and economics thinktank—where he co-authored reports on the Indian and European economies. He is a 2007 Marshall Scholar.
