Bio
Aaron Matassa
I have had the privilege of Brandon directly influencing the growth and direction of my career from an early stage. From technical and operational development to growth as a leader, Brandon has been a key resource to lean on and has always focused on how he could contribute my success. Brandon has repetitively displayed that he is both able to envision the future and translate those goals into real-time execution. His detailed, yet holistic, focus always ensures that all facets of the goal are accounted for without falling prey to traps like analysis-paralysis. Brandon has taught me more than I could list here, but most importantly, he taught me the value of putting people first. I would not be where I am today without his mentorship.

Detailed, thoughtful, and diligent are a couple of key words that I would use to describe Brandon. I had the pleasure of working directly for Brandon and alongside him for many years. It is through his mentorship that I've been able to achieve my own success. Time and time again, Brandon showed through his actions that he was willing to push forward when others were not and do what is needed to accomplish the company's goals. Through his dedication to any given task combined with his industry knowledge, Brandon helped create, grow, and evolve countless items at Onepath. More importantly than the above, Brandon is the type of person that is always willing to help out both professionally and personally. He always takes the time to explain things and is always looking for an opportunity to coach others. He is someone that you can depend on, that is supportive, and that wants to see others be successful in all that they do. Brandon is a great natural leader that cultivates those around him.
