Matt Mountfort
Global Sales Manager
Matt is the Global Sales Manager for Canary and has the pleasure of working on our strategic direction, servicing our key business partners and finding new partners and opportunities for Canary to showcase our portfolio to the world. We are currently opening new markets to expand our global reach and are set to increase our branded footprint across Asia and Middle East - watch this space!
Matt enjoys getting out to meet our customers, immersing in multiple cultures, establishing new partnerships as well as finding solutions to our existing business partners’ challenges.
When he isn’t working or travelling, Matt spends his time playing golf, has taken up tennis again since moving back to New Zealand and enjoys leisurely jogs to the Auckland waterfront. He enjoys good food and wine and is an avid traveller and the opportunity to do that with Canary is something he cherishes.
Matt is also a bit of a chocoholic purposely scouring out all the new latest editions of NZ’s favourite Whittakers intending to hold them as collector items, only to find they are empty packets within the day!
