SpecialityFounder + CEO, MPB

Matt Barker is the founder and CEO of MPB, the world’s largest online platform for used photography and videography equipment. A long-time lover of photography with a background in economics and an astute understanding of marketplace dynamics, Matt launched MPB in 2011 with a mission to provide more freedom and flexibility to visual storytellers – photographers, videographers and content creators – while extending the lifespan of kit through a sustainable model of circularity. MPB has grown from a small start-up to a global platform backed by world-class investors, with three international bases in the UK, US and Berlin, over 200 employees and revenue on track to exceed £100m a year. Matt is driven by growth and achievement, and is passionate about building a best-in-class, end-to-end platform that everyone can partner with and trust.
