Matt Tilley was one of Australia’s most respected radio personalities, with more than 20 successful years on air. And then something happened. He fashioned his long-time curiosities and dalliances with the charity sector into an executive career.
Matt previously served as Chief Communications Officer at Foodbank Victoria and was the Founder and CEO of the Aussie Dollar Drop which supported homeless Australians. Matt has also held several Board positions across the NFP sector.
Prior to this, Matt had a successful two-decade career in commercial media as a radio presenter on major stations like FOX FM and Triple M.
Talking Points
Working in the Media
After nearly three decades in commercial radio there's not a Prime Minister or Kardashian or fallen sports star with a book to pedal that Matt hasn't interviewed. But what goes on behind the scenes with the rich and famous. What do the publicists say before you walk in the room? Which questions have to be removed before the interview goes to air? Who lies straight to your face? And which Hollywood A-lister blew their nose and just threw the tissue on the floor. So many stories, and Matt's happy to share them all. Off the record, of course.

Cycling
When people think of the sublime endurance efforts of the world's most elite road cyclists as they climb mountain after mountain, in searing heat, for three weeks on end¦they think of one thing. Drugs. Surely. Bags of them no doubt. Well Matt's got the stories to back up the titillation. Take a look at the quirky side of the Tour de France and cycling in general, as the chaotic and the idiotic collide at top speed!

Team Work
After nearly 14 years at the very top of the highly competitive brekky radio market in Melbourne, you'd think Matt's ego might be burnt out. But it's not. So why not let one more idiot tell you what it takes to create a successful team. Particularly when there's no other members of the team there to question his dubious recollections. It's a unique perspective that doesn't include one SWOT analysis and has a refundable guarantee that you won't learn something you didn't not already know. That's got you thinking already, right?
