Matt: The 'Nerdy' Side of Me That Became My Secret Weapon

This week on Behind the Future, we’re talking to Matt Greenwood - the guy in charge of all things automation and AI at Reflect Digital.

Matt didn’t grow up dreaming of working in tech. In fact, he got into it by accident while doing a part-time job at uni. But he quickly realised he loved solving problems and making things run more smoothly using tech. So, he started finding clever ways to fix everyday issues - even making life easier for his team without being asked.

His journey shows that you don’t need to follow a set path or be a computer genius from day one. From creating his own role at a major company to leading innovation now, Matt shares how curiosity, creativity, and a bit of trial and error can take you a long way.

If you’re into tech, love figuring stuff out, or have no idea what you want to do yet, this one’s for you!
