Dr. Matt Rawlins is a leadership development expert known for helping individuals and organizations turn complexity into clarity. From a young age, he was fascinated by how things work. Whether he was taking apart a toy or reverse-engineering a transistor radio, Matt was driven by curiosity and a deep desire to understand systems, a trait that would later define his approach to leadership and organizational transformation.
With a PhD in Leadership Development and Organizational Behavior, and over 30 years of international experience, Matt has built a career around equipping leaders to handle uncertainty with presence and resilience. He has worked in over 30 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, the US, and the Pacific Rim, advising leaders in both the nonprofit and corporate sectors. His strength lies in helping people engage the tension of real-world leadership rather than avoid it, a hallmark of his approach at Green Bench Consulting.
