Matt is one of the sharpest strategic thinkers I've encountered in my professional career. He has an impressive ability to assimilate a large amount of information and distinguish the finer points for consideration. He used these skills to great effect as an UpEnergy board member, a role in which he navigated the complexities of the carbon finance market and the competitive landscape of distributed energy products. On the operational side, Matt is energized by bringing creative solutions to on-the-ground implementation of social solutions. At UpEnergy, he took calculated risks to deliver innovative strategies for serving customers at the bottom of the pyramid. Matt was the mastermind behind our successful direct sales force and local branding efforts. Matt generously shares his knowledge and his successes with his team and cares deeply about his colleagues on a personal level as well." and "Matt is a highly intelligent and effective professional with excellent leadership and management skills. Truly great leaders are hard to find and his work ethic, analytical skills, and interpersonal skills distinguish him. Matt led a team that managed complex C02 reduction projects for my company The Paradigm Project. Carbon development is not only highly technical, but also requires strategic insight to align data with desired outcomes that have far-reaching benefits and consequences. He possessed a keen ability to assess complex situations, understand multidimensional problems, and organize Impact Carbon’s resources to best meet our immediate needs while anticipating future factors. He effectively oversaw the delivery of high quality products and processes on Paradigm’s pioneering projects. This work led to excellent results in highly uncertain and high-risk environments. He proved invaluable in tackling the kind of difficult problems that are inherent to fast growing organizations like ours. As Managing Director, I witnessed Matt push Impact Carbon to innovate new types of social finance, new program types, and new methods useful to the Development and Climate Finance fields. I value his strategic advice, respect his foresight, and can recommend him without reservation."
