“Matthew brings a powerful combination of experience, technical depth, and leadership capability. As our clients look to better leverage their data and prepare for AI, having strong expertise in data foundations, governance, and architecture is critical. Matthew will play a key role in helping our clients unlock that value.”
Flatt’s appointment builds on Inde’s ongoing investment in its data, intelligence and architecture capabilities, complementing its broader strategic focus on helping clients modernise their technology environments and unlock new opportunities for growth.
