In Loving Memory of Matthew Lunn
Longtime Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Australia
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and untimely passing of Matthew Lunn, a highly respected partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Australia and a towering figure in the professional services industry. Matthew’s unexpected departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his family, friends, colleagues, and the broader business community.
Matthew was more than a partner at PwC—he was a pillar of wisdom, integrity, and visionary leadership. Over a distinguished career spanning decades, he helped shape the strategic direction of the firm and was instrumental in fostering a culture rooted in ethical values, excellence in service, and a relentless pursuit of client success. His passing is not only a profound personal loss but also a significant moment for the professional services community in Australia and beyond.
From the earliest days of his career, Matthew demonstrated a rare combination of intellectual rigor and human warmth. He was known for his deep technical acumen, his ability to navigate complex challenges, and his unwavering commitment to doing what was right—no matter how difficult the circumstances. These qualities earned him the admiration of colleagues, the trust of clients, and the respect of industry peers.
As a mentor and leader, Matthew was both compassionate and exacting. He held himself and those around him to the highest standards—not to seek perfection, but to inspire growth, responsibility, and purpose. Many professionals at PwC and across the broader financial and consulting sectors can trace their development and success to Matthew’s guidance and example. He championed diversity, championed innovation, and consistently sought to uplift others through empowerment and education.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Matthew was a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and a person of profound character. Those who knew him personally speak of his humility, his wry sense of humor, and his quiet generosity. He had an uncanny ability to make others feel heard, valued, and supported—even amidst the pressures of a demanding profession. His presence brought steadiness in times of uncertainty and inspiration in times of challenge.
Matthew’s legacy will live on—not only in the projects he led or the firm he helped build, but in the countless lives he touched along the way. His contributions to PwC Australia, to the ethical foundations of the profession, and to the many communities he served are indelible.
At this moment of immense loss, our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Matthew’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. We join together in remembering and honoring a life marked by purpose, leadership, and grace.
In the coming weeks, we will share details regarding opportunities to celebrate Matthew’s life and contributions. For now, we invite everyone to hold space in their hearts for his memory and the enduring impact he made.
