Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of working with Matty for a number of years at IEEE, where he led numerous strategic initiatives for me. He excels in strategic leadership, consistently aligning project imperatives with organizational goals. He adeptly manages complex on-site and remote teams, fostering collaboration among cross-functional staff, volunteers, and contractors to maximize productivity.

His comprehensive understanding of association operations - spanning membership, knowledge, events, and products - enables innovative, cross-silo thinking. Matty’s business acumen encompasses financial, risk, change, and project management, coupled with strong planning, execution, and communication skills. He effectively engages with colleagues across all organizational levels and business units.

Matty is the most loyal, tenacious, caring and professional person I have had the luck to have encountered in my journey through professional life. His caring and nurturing behavior is something that leaves you feeling like a better person for knowing him. When times got hard in our work Matty always lifted me up and made the rigors of work a pleasure because he was there. I highly recommend Matty for executive leadership roles in professional associations."

"Matty has a gift in meeting people where they are in order to elicit deep insights and a greater truth. His synthesis was delivered both in a discussion and in writing, and it opened my mind personally to consider a deeper and more meaningful value proposition for our association. He helped to establish the foundation for the subsequent quantitative aspects of our global strategic research."

"Matty is the kind of consultant every executive searches for. Over the 5 years we worked together, he became a trusted partner I could turn to for a fresh perspective. He is both knowledgeable and a quick study in learning the specifics of your company and your project. Matty does not waste your time training him. That is invaluable, but Matty does much more: he is able to synthesize information given, analyze it against the environment, and provide recommendations that go beyond the expected. He is the only consultant I ever worked with who told me things I didn’t already know."

"To be honest, I've seen my share of business analysts in the past, but few have been able to capture the nature of what's happening within a business as you seem to be able to. Normally I look at process flows and the like and have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees. With the work you've been doing, I can see how it will directly map to the system we're trying to build and ultimately the increased success of the organization. In a nutshell,  I'm impressed"
