Alumni Spotlight: Matt Forman – Founder and Non-Executive Director, XPON
With a name derived from the word exponential, the initial question asked by XPON Technologies Group was
bold. As a founder-led company incorporated in 2019, XPON was built to challenge traditional models with mission-critical services. The
ambition was clear from the start: to help brands unlock the full potential of marketing technology and data.
As the company gained early traction, the opportunity to scale became real. But growth at pace brings complexity. New markets. New capabilities. New expectations. To gain access to trusted advisers and support the growth agenda, XPON joined forces with Queensland Leaders.
The strength of the professional network at Queensland Leaders was valuable during the early stages of the company – with practical and timely feedback to sharpen the approach and guide key decisions.
The founder connected with industry specialists and fellow business owners. This real-world experience and independent validation helped the team at XPON to establish solid foundations for future expansion.
The rapid growth of XPON culminated in a successful Initial Public Offering on the ASX in 2021. This enabled the company to further invest in innovation and extend operations across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
United by purpose and values, XPON operates a remote-first model with a global team of more than 100 people. The company continues to attract and retain high-value clients, with reported annual revenue in excess of $9 million.
“Thanks to the highly supportive network of Industry Experts within Queensland Leaders, I accelerated my knowledge and know how. As we focused on business expansion, this helped to both navigate challenges and create opportunities.”

It starts with a simple question: What if…?
