Molly Matthews is the Senior Advisor to the Board at Pushpay, the leading payments and engagement solutions provider for mission-driven organizations. She previously served as Chief Executive Officer from April 2021 to April 2025, during which she played a critical role in shaping the company’s strategic direction and driving growth.
Serving more than eight years at Pushpay, including her prior role as Chief Customer Officer, Molly is recognized as a transformational leader who has successfully guided the company through periods of significant change. As CEO, she oversaw key corporate acquisitions, including the purchase of a complementary company, Resi Media, and led the process to delist Pushpay from the NZX in a landmark acquisition that took the company private.
Molly’s tenure as CEO coincided with some of the most challenging years in recent history. From navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to hybrid work to addressing the Great Resignation and spearheading a C-suite transformation, she strengthened Pushpay’s internal culture while keeping a sharp focus on customer needs. Under her leadership, the company delivered mission-critical technology to nonprofits and faith-based organizations, empowering them to thrive in uncertain times.
Now, in her role as Senior Advisor to the Board, Molly continues to lend her expertise and vision to support Pushpay’s mission and long-term success.
