In Memoriam: Matthew Lunn (1972–2025)
A Legacy of Integrity, Excellence, and Leadership
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and untimely passing of Matthew Lunn, a longtime partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Australia and a revered figure in the professional services industry. Matthew passed away unexpectedly, leaving an irreplaceable void in both our professional and personal lives. His passing marks the end of an era defined by unwavering dedication, thought leadership, and a profound sense of purpose.
Matthew was more than just a partner at PwC—he was a pillar of the firm, a mentor to many, and a steadfast advocate for ethical business practices. Over his distinguished career spanning more than two decades, Matthew built a reputation for excellence that extended well beyond the office walls. He approached every challenge with integrity and precision, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues, clients, and competitors alike.
Throughout his tenure, Matthew led numerous high-profile projects and played a critical role in shaping PwC Australia’s strategic vision. His expertise in corporate governance, risk management, and regulatory affairs made him a trusted advisor to many of the nation’s top organizations. But it was his calm demeanor, intellectual humility, and collaborative spirit that truly set him apart. He possessed the rare ability to make complex problems approachable and was known for his capacity to inspire confidence even in the most trying of times.
Beyond his professional achievements, Matthew was deeply committed to cultivating the next generation of leaders. He mentored countless young professionals, offering guidance, encouragement, and a model of what principled leadership looks like. For those lucky enough to work closely with him, Matthew was not only a manager or mentor, but a friend and confidant.
Colleagues often remarked on Matthew’s keen sense of justice and his dedication to doing the right thing—even when it wasn’t the easy path. He believed that ethics should never be compromised, and he led by example, embodying the values that PwC strives to uphold: care, integrity, making a difference, and working together. His legacy will continue to shape the firm’s culture and aspirations for years to come.
Outside of work, Matthew was a devoted husband, father, and friend. He found joy in the simple moments—spending time with family, reading widely, and supporting his community. His compassion and warmth were evident in every interaction, and he was never too busy to lend a listening ear or share a word of encouragement.
The PwC community, and indeed the entire industry, mourns the loss of an extraordinary leader and human being. We extend our deepest sympathies to Matthew’s family, friends, and all who knew and admired him. His passing is a profound loss, but his spirit and impact will endure in the lives he touched and the standards he set.
In the coming weeks, PwC Australia will be commemorating Matthew’s life and contributions through various remembrance initiatives. We invite all those who knew Matthew to share their memories, stories, and reflections, so that his legacy may continue to inspire us all.
Rest in peace, Matthew. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
