“Matt is a whiz. I am very, very picky on who I work with and have a complex business with lots of moving pieces. Matt was able to understand the big picture and the small details. He challenged me when appropriate, and was right when he did. My work with him led to a very big transaction, and I am very appreciative of his insight, guidance, and technical abilities. You will not be disappointed if you hire him.”

— Dan Binstock, Partner, Garrison & Sisson. (Washington, D.C.)

 
I first started with Matt in Spring 2017, on top of helping me become more structured in the way I run my business and organising super fast action of important tasks he also connected me with a couple very important contacts for my business. A very well organised and experienced business mind with a common sense approach which suits my family’s wine business.

“Matt was a wonderful asset for us – he was extremely flexible, knowledgeable, and fair. He is an expert and was always available (in spite of significant time differences between our location and his). We would work with Matt again in a heartbeat and are happy to recommend him!”

— Ryan Hansen, CEO & Founder, Timeless Wrought Iron. (Sheboygan, WI.)

 
Matt is a turnaround master. After a difficult partnership breakup and (messy public dispute), he helped guide our business back on track while allowing us to see the bigger picture. He advised us with our first ever acquisition and his strategic horizons helped us stay focused on the right things down to the smallest of details. My only regret is not meeting Matt twelve years ago when we started the business.
— AJ Harbinger, CEO and Co-founder, The Art of Charm. (LOS ANGELES, CA.)
