ABOUT MATT COPELIN

Passionate about IT/Business alignment, driving consistent delivery with a highly collaborative approach and transparent communication’’I\'m a straight-talking, common-sense, action oriented Australian who embarked on an exciting journey when I moved to the UK in My professional path has been a thrilling ride, fuelled by a passion for business focused technology delivery and collaboration. Collaboration is key for me. I thrive on uniting diverse stakeholders and perspectives to achieve shared goals. I have found that my inclusive leadership style fosters trust and open communication. Though I can make decisive calls when needed, I find seeking to understand the varying needs and opinions universally finds the optimal solution.At my core, I am an authentic leader driven by a desire to positively impact the companies I engage with. I am committed to aligning technology strategies with bottom-line objectives and enabling the growth of the company. I am an inclusive and supportive leader who fosters a positive culture, manages change with empathy, and prioritizes the human aspect of transformation, which invariably gets missed. I recognize that every voice matters, and I ensure that everyone feels heard and valued.As a visionary technology leader, I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and hands-on experience to drive innovation. While adept at navigating complex IT landscapes, I never lose sight of the human element. My passion is empowering people through technology.While accomplishments are meaningful to me, it is enabling others to succeed and grow that brings deepest joy. I am a respectful coach who leads by example and lives by my values. My fulfilment comes from empowering people to reach their full potential.Things I say on a regular basis:• What You Condone, You Support• Do It With The Business, Not To Them• Perception Is Reality – Even If You Don’t Like Their Reality• No Technology For Technology\'s Sake – It Needs To Be Business Led• A CIO Should Focus On Growth, Profitability & Efficiencies and Not Just Running IT• We Need To Bridge The Gap Between Business & IT Importantly, behind the CV is a resilient, authentic, value-led, high energy and curious individual who strives to bring the best out of people, takes on new challenges and continues to learn.Outside of work I am a keen rugby supporter, spend time looking after my 4 kids and my daughter’s cat (who scratches!) and surprising myself, have really got into growing fruit, vegetables and plants.Email: m••••••••@gmail.comMobile: 07•••••••28
