With a career that spans roles as an HR executive, strategy consultant, technology co-founder, and industry analyst, Matt’s work has always centered around one goal: helping organizations continuously improve through thoughtful, human-centered technology. His leadership has earned industry accolades, including “Most Innovative Use of HR Technology” in 2017 and “Canadian HR Team of the Year” in 2018.
