Startup/Scaleup CFO Q&A | FutureCFO

In this Future CFO Q&A session, we speak with Matt Hann, an experienced CFO whose unconventional journey took him from professional footballer to senior finance roles at Channel 4, and ultimately to his first CFO role at Festicket.

Over the past three years, Matt has played a pivotal role in scaling Festicket—one of the UK’s top 10 fastest growing companies—through both hyper-growth and crisis. In this conversation, he shares first-hand insights from leading the business through major milestones, including:

• Raising over £25M in capital through crowdfunding and VC post-Series D

• Leading the acquisitions of B2C platform Ticket Arena and B2B SaaS provider Event Genius

• Delivering 200% revenue growth

• Supporting international expansion into Europe, the USA and Australia

• Steering the company’s strategic realignment during the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate the path to profitability

This session is ideal for startup CFOs, founders, and finance professionals navigating scale, strategic transformation, or unpredictable market conditions.
