Mat Shepherd: founder of Guru Business

Mat Shepherd

Get in touch

After seven years at a derivatives trading company in London, I moved to Australia in 2003 and joined a corporate advisory firm specialising in helping entrepreneurs launch successful businesses. When one of my clients asked me to lead their venture, I accepted the challenge and spent the next four years raising investment capital, and building and running the business. Returning to consulting, I worked with several Australian organisations to develop and execute their strategies, expand into new markets, make value-adding acquisitions and optimise the impact of their people. 


Since returning to London in 2013, I've worked intimately with the Boards, CEOs and executive leaders of British, European, American and global businesses to drive performance through purposeful strategy, a winning culture and high performing teams.  I'm supported by a trusted network of consultants and change managers whose expertise can be called upon to meet specific client needs.  


Married with two daughters, my passions include supporting Harlequins Rugby, snowboarding as fast as possible and riding my Ducati without incident.

My Approach

After more than two decades as a business leader, investor and consultant, I've learned how to have the greatest impact and add value for busy owners and executives. Based in London, my work takes me all over the world and I embrace interacting with new and different cultures and organisations –  I’m still learning all the time! 


Most of my interactions are with CEOs or Business Unit heads, as well as their Boards and leadership teams. As well as dealing one-to-one, I design and facilitate workshops and conferences for groups ranging from six people to two hundred. Every business is different and every business leader is different, so I like to build relationships and really understand your needs and desired outcomes. This helps me tailor my work alongside the individuals concerned and meet or exceed client expectations.


I'm grateful to have deep working relationships with many clever and capable business leaders and welcome the opportunity to continue adding value.
