Barry Matthews

I have been a successful CEO in the Managed Print, Documents & IT Services Sector, enjoying an incredible career spanning over 30 years. During this impressive tenure, I have honed a unique skill set, particularly adept at adopting an outside/in view of a business and collaborating with the board to craft a roadmap for success, especially in the realm of acquisitional growth.

Well-versed in understanding the challenges of growing and ramping up a business, securing investment, and navigating the M&A landscape, I offer a decisive and analytical mind for board-level challenges. My approach brings a fresh perspective that not only helps resolve issues but also endorses viewpoints. I possess a can-do attitude and am comfortable being engaged throughout the M&A process, from deal origination to due diligence and completion. I never underestimate the importance of being acquisition-ready, whether you are on the buying or selling side of a business.

I enjoy full engagement within the business and understand the benefits of an inclusive and connected workplace. Equally adept at engaging with key stakeholders, I help define their exit strategy for a business, outline the milestones required for success, and develop and oversee all aspects of the strategy to deliver.
