Meet Christina Matthews AM
Christina Matthews AM has built a career that spans elite cricket, the chief executive’s office and the boardroom, taking on leadership roles within WA Cricket, the Australian Cricketers Association, Tourism WA and the Perth Bears Rugby League Club. She has led an impactful career driven by a conviction that sport at its best is about far more than what happens on the field.
As CEO of WA Cricket through a decade of on and off-field transformation, Christina reflects on what it takes to lead people through change that is not just operational but emotionally charged, why vision without understanding what others need will always fall short, and what elite cricket taught her about building teams that actually perform.
She speaks too on the women’s sport pay gap, what separates community programs that genuinely change lives from those that merely look good, and what advice she would give to her 18-year-old self if she had the chance.
