About Matt:

Driven leader with fifteen years of international business experience in Logistics and Supply Chain. I am multilingual, speak fluently in Spanish and German, while having an in-depth understanding of the complex dynamics of supply chain management, contract negotiations and thought leadership after spending more than a decade managing operations in China, Europe, Australia, Canada, and the USA. My understanding of global business environments, monetary impacts, and rules of engagement for real estate integration for successful business results, benefit the clients I work with.

I am a graduate of Purdue University, where I played NCAA basketball. I was a 4-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, the recipient of the Distinguished Scholar-Athlete award for outstanding academic achievements, and the Ward Lambert academic award. My traits of working well with a team, focusing on a positive result, and coordinating critical processes to ensure success, are my calling card for new client opportunities and servicing of my extensive existing base of relationships.
