Matthew Melhuish, Board Advisor, Investor & Mentor – Australia

Matt has mentored with The Marketing Academy (TMA) since its Australian launch over a decade ago.

“Being a mentor is a great privilege — it’s a pleasure to meet so many outstanding people, and I’m pretty sure I gain as much (if not more) from the experience as they do.”

A 40-year veteran of Marketing Services across the UK, Europe, USA, and Australia, Matt co-founded BMF, one of Australia’s most celebrated creative agencies, before serving as CEO of ASX-listed Enero Group – leading its turnaround across 600 staff and 13 cities worldwide.

He has also served on the boards of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (10 years) and Sydney Festival (nine years).

Today, Matt consults across sectors ranging from Government and Private Equity to M&A, Fashion, Banking, Beauty, and beyond.
