Today on What the Flux: In Conversation, we’re excited to be joined by Matt Heine, CEO and Managing Director of Netwealth…and Flux’s relatively new corporate overlord.
For those who don’t know, Netwealth is one of Australia’s fastest-growing wealth management and fintech companies - having grown its share price over 450% since its IPO in 2017.
Matt has been working at Netwealth since 2001 and has held roles across sales, marketing and product. He became joint managing director alongside his father Michael Heine in 2015 and became the sole managing director in 2022.
In our conversation today, we’ll dig into how his early experiences shaped him, how he thinks about scaling a platform and what the future of advice and wealth looks like in Australia and globally. _ Note: This recording took place in February 2026.
