As Managing Director and owner, Matt is responsible for the overall operation of the business. This responsibility extends to overseeing all business lines, sourcing new acquisitions, managing debt for the assets, investor relations and equity raising.

Matt holds a Bachelor of Business (Property) and has over 28 years experience in the Melbourne commercial, retail and industrial property scene.

He is particularly skilled at positioning a property for the next buyer and oversees this reposition process working in conjunction with Vantage’s in-house resources in asset services, project management and interior design.
