Chief Growth Officer
Matthew joined the Kinetic Solutions Group in February 2023, appointed to the Executive Leadership team in the position of Chief Growth Officer with accountability for all sales, business development and marketing activities across the group.
Matthew started his career with BAE Systems in 2002 where he joined as a Commercial Officer in the Avionics Division on their industry-acclaimed Graduate Development Programme. He gained an early involvement in complex contract negotiations for the UK’s largest defence contractor before moving into a regional business development role.
Matthew transitioned into the Finmeccanica Group in 2004 (after their acquisition of BAE Systems Avionics Division) and took up the role of Regional Business Development Manager within their Electronics Division, leading the development of new business opportunities within Central & Eastern Europe for land and air applications. In 2006, Matthew moved within the Finmeccanica Group to be appointed Country Director Poland / Regional Business Director for AgustaWestland and was posted to Warsaw, Poland. He was instrumental in leading the strategic acquisition of the state-owned helicopter manufacturer WSK PZL-Swidnik and the entry into service of the first western helicopter with the Polish Government.
Continuing his spell overseas, from 2012 up to 2015 Matthew entered the field of light aviation and significantly transformed the international business activities of a Czech light aircraft manufacturer, successfully overseeing the entry into service of a new basic trainer with 12 European nations in his first 2 years.
Returning to the United Kingdom in 2015, Matthew served a short period in the Airbus Group with Vector Aerospace as Regional Service Development Director responsible for modification and upgrade opportunities, before joining Marshall Aerospace & Defence Group in early 2016 to focus on support services for large military aircraft. Matthew held the role of International Sales Director of their Military Aerospace Business Unit before being promoted to Group Sales Director in early 2020. In 2021 Matthew was appointed Executive Vice President & Global Sales Director of Marshall Aerospace and posted to Washington DC to drive their expansion into North America prior to joining the Kinetic Solutions Group.
Married with one daughter and one son, Matthew holds a European Business degree from Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK and a Business Administration degree from Fachhochschule Bochum in Germany. Matthew is a keen player of all racket sports, a “social” golfer, an avid supporter of Tottenham Hotspur and enjoys nothing more than taking long walks with his two golden retrievers Lord and Lara.
