Matt Blue Email and Phone Number
I was once asked why I, as an engineer, would decide to go to business school. This sounds like a fair question, but I thought that a better question might be, “Why would an artist decide to go to engineering school?” While I have always loved the challenge of a blank canvas, I knew at a young age that product-based business was where I wanted to be. With piles of math skills and a love for solving problems, engineering school was an easy decision for me at 18. Early in my professional career, I became intrigued with the difficult problems faced by businesses and their customers. This is now my passion: solving complex business problems from the perspective of an engineer, salesperson, marketeer, product developer, businessperson and artist.Specialties: Customer Insight; Realizing/Launching Innovation; Team Motivation; Product Portfolio Management; Product Management; Business Strategy; Program Management; Sales Strategies; Lean Manufacturing; and Customer Relationships.
