Matt Brittin

UK Country Director

Google

The UK is Google’s primary market outside the US and is one of the world’s leading e-commerce and online marketing environments.  Matt leads a team which combines online marketing, media and specialist industry expertise to help Google’s UK clients and partners make the most of online opportunities.  Sectors covered in depth include Finance, Travel, Technology, Retail, Media, Classifieds, Consumer Products, Healthcare and Automotive.  He was recently voted, by the readers of New Media Age, to have made “the greatest individual contribution to New Media” in 2008 at the NMA Awards.

Prior to Google, Matt spent much of the last ten years working in media and marketing, with particular interests in strategy, commercial development and sales performance.  This included several years in consulting with McKinsey and Company and more recently Commercial and Digital Director roles in UK media.  In his earlier career Matt was both an international rower and a property developer.  He holds an MBA from London Business School, an MA from Cambridge and several Boat Race silver medals.  He was a member of the British Olympic Team in Seoul 1988, and has won medals in eights and fours at the World Rowing Championships.  He lives near the Thames with his wife and two energetic sons who have yet to show an interest in going backwards on the water.
