J'ai particulièrement apprécié de travailler avec Matthew, d'abord en tant que collègue, puis comme étant mon manager quelques années plus tard. C'est quelqu'un de très positif et ouvert d'esprit, cherchant à offrir le meilleur aux clients, et à la société qui l'emploie. Il se focalise à comprendre les besoins des clients et utilisateurs. Matthew est compétent dans diverses applications d'éclairage, aussi bien en éclairage intérieur qu'extérieur, combiné avec une expertise marketing et business. Il manage son équipe pour atteindre les meilleures performances, et intervient lors des prises de décisions et définition des priorités. Il apporte une solide expérience internationale dans le travail quotidien et facilite les différences culturelles et relations de travail. C'est quelqu'un qui se passionne pour manager des équipes, et qui est passionné par la lumière.

I have had the pleasure of working with Matthew over the past five or so years on various committees at the IALD. Matthew’s insight and passion for the lighting industry is evident as soon as you meet him. He has consistently stepped to the front when ideas and volunteers were necessary in implementing initiatives. Matthew has vast knowledge and a great pool of resources which he can call upon to find the right answer to a question even when he does not have it himself. He is truly a great collaborator for both manufacturers and lighting designers.
