About Matthew Wallhead
Matthew has spent his career launching and commercialising B2B events, moving through senior roles at Terrapinn, Farnborough International, and Dubai World Trade Centre. He specialises in data-led product development, using evidence rather than assumption to de-risk decisions and build investment confidence in new events and portfolios. Matthew also leads on go-to-market planning and stakeholder engagement, turning strategy into plans that teams can execute with confidence. At Collingwood, he brings that operator’s perspective to clients building and scaling their own event and media businesses.
