Mat Paixao

Mat Paixao is a Partner within the Technology and Data capability at Davies, with over a decade of experience delivering digital transformation across regulated industries. His work focuses on designing and implementing technology‑driven solutions that support growth, improve efficiency, and strengthen customer experience while operating within complex regulatory environments.

Much of Mat’s experience sits at the intersection of application development, cloud technologies, and intelligent automation. He has worked extensively on modernising legacy platforms, designing cloud‑based architectures, and implementing automation to reduce operational friction and improve delivery outcomes. His approach centres on aligning technology decisions with commercial objectives, ensuring solutions create tangible value rather than complexity.

At Davies, Mat works closely with clients across financial services, particularly retail banking and insurance. He supports organisations as they address operational pain points and navigate change that spans technology, people, and process. He provides rapid clarity in complex engagements, helping teams translate complex business challenges into structured, achievable delivery plans.

A significant part of Mat’s work involves shaping emerging technology strategy. He collaborates with cross‑functional teams to pilot and scale innovations in areas such as AI, low‑code platforms, and data‑driven automation. He evaluates where these technologies deliver real outcomes and how to introduce them without disrupting controls or compliance.

Mat stays current through active participation in industry forums and professional networks. Thereby, maintaining a close view of how technology and regulation continue to evolve. He is motivated by the opportunity to help organisations adopt digital change with confidence and deliver improvements that last beyond the initial implementation.
