Matt Leone Email & Phone Number

Matt Leone is a Features Editor, Polygon at Vox Media, Inc. at Polygon. Colleagues describe him as "In the 5+ years I worked with Matt at 1UP.com (and Electronic Gaming Monthly), he was without question the anchor of our entire editorial team. Our staff had many outstanding team members, for sure, but Matt was unflappable, exceptionally organized, reliable, driven, and yet low-key. Articulate and insightful, Matt's planning ability and foresight meant that our website (and magazine coverage) was always competitive and comprehensive, despite the fact that we didn't have the sheer staff count of our competition. In essence, Matt made the most of the tools he had at his disposal. He is also very much a 'first in, last out' sort of guy; never blinking an eye when an assignment requires him to stay beyond the confines of the regular 9-to-5. This is not a trait I suggest taking advantage of, it is just an observation. In essence, if I could hire or work with Matt again in the future, I would do so without hesitation. And for anyone considering Matt for placement within your own company or team, I give him my absolute highest recommendation." and "Well, the rumors are false: Matt Leone is indeed not an automaton. But it seems like all the evidence was there. Matt is tremendously organized, timely, efficient, and somehow he has everything filed in his head. The directions and critique he gives are always on-point. He has single-handedly planned out giant event coverages. No cracks. No holes. No bumps. Just smooth sailing under his management. He's always calm and sensible, no matter what kind of deadline el nino is blowing through. He may not be an automaton, but I suspect he's some sort of super-human."
