Matthew’s business experience and skills have always demonstrated his innovative, strategic,
and leadership capacities. His commitment to working hard for and with clients and community
groups are well known and regarded.
Combined, these attributes are a powerful influence on delivering outcomes and results for the
endeavours he embraces with typical enthusiasm.

Keith Abraham

For the past 30 years Matt Brannelly has been leading and managing teams of people, clients, business associations and community organisations.
Matt has been responsible for creating compelling and innovative product offerings with clients and the markets connected with specific target groups. Matt has never shied away from a challenge and he has this unique ability to think beyond the challenge, using a combination of curiosity and lateral thinking that sets him apart from most business leaders. When you add this to his ability to work across Finance, Law, Accounting, Sport and Not for Profits then combine that with work he has done with the Brisbane Junior Chamber in his 20’s; the QLD Chamber of Commerce in his 30’s and now the work he is doing with Charitable Foundations in his 50’s, it provides him with a well rounded ability to lead leaders, lead volunteers and to lead clients.
On a personal level, Matt is a leader that believes in service above self and to add value to people first before you expect anything in return.

Robert Dunne

Matt has demonstrated a natural curiosity and inquisitiveness right from the start. He was an ideas man long before it became fashionable.
His generous nature has resulted in him sharing his ideas and insights to the substantial benefit of the many people and organisations that have benefited from his involvement

Jason Titman

Matt is a tenacious business operator who has a
great ability to think outside the square.
Over the 20 years that I have known Matt I have always found
him to have endless energy and commitment to completing projects that he takes on. Matt has a dynamic and engaging style for challenging existing
business paradigms.

If your organisation is seeking direction and renewed
momentum to improve bottom line results… you
look to someone like Matt.
Matt is not an academic theorist or business coach
who sits on the sideline watching. He combines his
enthusiasm and real world experience via processes
of Business Alchemy and Change Leadership to drive
real change and take a vision and make it a reality.
“Simply … Matt is the guy that gets things done.”

Kristina Mills

I first met Matt 20ish years ago when he owned a very
successful firm in the finance industry. One of the key
reason’s for the firm’s success was Matt’s innovative
mind, his leading-edge marketing practices and the
way in which he differentiated himself from others in
the industry.
Since then I’ve seen him apply the same
skills to advising other businesses. Matt is a driven, out
of the box thinker who makes results happen and is a
pleasure to do business with.

The Inaugural NFP Leaders Roundtable facilitated by Matt Brannelly at Orbit Strategies provided me with the opportunity to connect and create meaningful relationships with key influential professionals in the NFP sector. As a result from the roundtable, I connected with an IT Director who offered his skills and resources and was the keynote speaker at a NFP event at a large accounting firm. I also connected with a director of a Commercial property agent who I referred to one of my valued clients – as a result of the referral, the agent is now assisting the customer with the sale of their commercial properties.I am grateful to Matt who has enabled me to meet key influencers and individuals who are passionate about the sector and understand the challenges and opportunities that are present.”

Sean Dendle

The calibre of the people I met at the NFP Leaders Roundtable are amongst the highest in their respective fields. Not only do these people have a genuine drive to help the NFP sector, they have authority to make things happen. As a result of the NFP Leaders Roundtable, I was invited to present to combination of clients from a large accounting firm and from one of the big four banks.In addition to the NFP Leaders Roundtable, Matt’s introduction to another high- calibre firm has resulted in us being appointed to provide on-going services.”

Joe Barnewall

Matthew was a Director of Commerce Queensland during my tenure as Chief Executive. He was a very active and contributory member of the board who brought a fresh and positive view to our strategic planning. He was especially good at identifying marketing opportunities and providing constructive feedback on our various initiatives to grow both commercial services and membership sales. More recently Matthew is advising professional service firms on how to better manage their client relations and how to streamline their client attraction process

Matthew is world-class when it comes to taking businesses to the next level whether that be more profits, more clients or more productivity from their people. His real-world strategies take the complexity out of business growth. He becomes the unfair advantage for the firms he works with in the marketplace.

More profits, more clients, more productivity

Matthew is world class when it comes to taking professional service firms to the next level whether that be more profits, more clients or more productivity from their people.

A new paradigm

Given the increasing pace of change being forced on NFPs… there is an urgent need for a new paradigm in accessing solutions to commercial challenges and the embracing of change management.

Nothing short of phenomenal

For NFPs, the work that Matt Brannelly and Orbit do is nothing short of phenomenal. They found efficiencies in our organisation that enabled us to reduce our total overall costs by $200,000 every single year. With the help of this professional network, we were able to find efficiencies where we otherwise wouldn’t think of looking.

Real solutions

I’ve been thrilled by the positive impact on our bottom line. With the help of these experts, we will have saved more in a year than we would normally bring in from fundraising over the same period!

In my experience, Matt Brannelly has been instrumental in bringing together a group of specialists to identify efficiency opportunities and deliver real solutions.

Tangible results

Matthew has the ability to think outside the box, innovate, and leverage his networks and reputation to get things done and produce tangible results. He worked with us in exploring a different approach to structuring philanthropic giving to meet donor and organizational needs”
