About

Matt joined TempoCap in 2017 following 19 years running HiFX, a global leader in digital international payments. He co-founded the business in 1998 and built the business up to be one of the largest non-bank players globally. In his time as CEO, Matt led the business through an MBO, 3 separate acquisitions (including the acquisition of XE) and the ultimate sale of HiFX in 2014 for $250m to Euronet Inc (Nasdaq: EEFT). Matt’s move into the venture capital industry is driven by his passion to help build great businesses.
