The Strategy Guy
Matt Fitzsimmons
AUTHOR | STRATEGIST
HOSPITALITY COACH & INVESTOR
Having worked with Hospitality clients for more than 25 years in eight countries, Matt isn’t your typical business coach. He’s built and owned successful businesses, faced the same frustrations his clients deal with, and knows firsthand what it takes to grow something real. On top of founding three companies, he’s worked with some of the world’s biggest and most successful businesses, seeing, developing, and implementing game-changing strategies across teams of all shapes and sizes.
With 23+ years and over 14,000 hours in the trenches, Matt has worked with business owners and leadership teams in eight countries, across industries from gritty startups to billion-dollar beasts. But these days, his focus is laser-sharp: helping Hospitality business owners grow smarter, faster, and without burning out.
A former corporate strategist, Matt realised the real action, and real impact, was in small business. So he walked away from the boardroom and rolled up his sleeves. Since then, he’s helped hundreds of businesses sharpen their strategy, lead better teams, and drive serious profit, without the corporate waffle.
He helps Owners & Founders Scale the business, Exit operations and Sell for multiples more than the founders thought possible.
He’s the author of The Best Small Business in the World, a straight-talking guide packed with tools that work in the real world (no fluff, no filler, no B.S.).
Matt works exclusively with owners and founders who are all-in on Growing the business, Exiting Operations so they can have a life and Selling for a Fortune. No contracts. No fixed timelines. Just honest advice, tailored strategy, and results that speak for themselves.
