Matt is one of the sharpest people you'll ever meet. He understands things quickly and can find the root of the issue in any situation. He's a dedicated problem-solver with a wide breadth of skills and knowledge in his toolbox. His deep technical skills are complemented by product, project, and people management ability. At WeWork, I saw Matt excel at new responsibility upon new responsibility. I highly recommend the opportunity to work with Matt in any context.

I had the privilege of working with Matt on a critical research project at WeWork. His technical expertise, project management and communication skills were crucial to getting that project completed under an aggressive deadline. I learnt valuable skills through his mentorship sessions and expansive knowledge of the built environment. It was super fun to work with him because he is really good at breaking complex problems down into solvable portions.
