Co-founded the first design-led innovation lab in the US government
Matt's journey wound its way from teenage pilot to aerospace engineer to US civil servant to Asia-based consultant and advisor on design thinking and innovation.
He co-founded the first design-led innovation lab in the US government, and played a behind-the-scenes role in many Obama-era tech initiatives, including the Presidential Innovation Fellows and the US Digital Service.
Matt has since worked with clients across Asia, India, and the Gulf, and applies the learnings from those many and varied engagements to his role leading culture for Prudential's 14,000 staff and reinventing learning for its 600,000 insurance agents. Matt did his MBA from Stanford GSB.
