About Matt Bates
Making important things happen: That’s what drives me in my work as a senior finance executive for complex IT services companies—currently NewGlobe, previously Zenoss and Rackspace. Whether we are in hyper-growth mode, seeking a capital infusion, pivoting toward growth markets, or pursuing other transformative (sometimes disruptive) strategies, I keep my eye on the long-term goal while blocking-and-tackling to make things happen today.At Zenoss, I’ve worked closely with the CEO and Board to strengthen the company’s financial foundation as we shift our software strategy from legacy to SaaS.At Rackspace, I led a variety of major initiatives:► Taking the company public … and then private, leading to a leveraged buyout by Apollo Global Management.► Shifting the business model to become a cloud services partner to industry giants Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.► Launching a Transformation Office and delivering millions in cost savings.► Leading numerous end-to-end acquisitions, from due diligence through deal negotiation and integration. I owe my career in finance to a college internship at the US Embassy in Guatemala City. My interest was stirred when I covered the privatization of the state-owned electric company, managed by a US investment bank which sparked my interest in the industry. Landing a position with Deutsche Bank right out of college, I spent several formative years concentrating in equity offerings (IPOs, follow-ons, private placements) and buy- and sell-side M&A, in both the US and Asia.When I was invited to join Rackspace, I could not foresee the incredible growth of the company—or the mirror growth of my own career, as I was repeatedly asked to take on new roles and solve new problems.A primary part of my job as CFO is serving as a resource, sounding board, and advisor to the CEO, executive team, and board. I’m the down-to-earth, realistic voice that supports data-driven decision-making and ensures our strategies are achievable as well as visionary. Then, it’s time to make things happen. It’s what I’ve done throughout my career—the more complex the challenge, the more satisfying the result. ► EXPERTISE: Strategic Planning, Mergers & Acquisitions, Negotiations & Due Diligence, Integration, Debt & Equity Fundraising, Private Equity/LBO, Financial Planning & Analysis, Cash Management, Capital Budgeting
