Brian Matthews

“Former mechanical engineering professional who pivoted into business development and drove major international growth through strategic partnerships (helping scale headcount from a few to 300+ in 2–3 years). Now finishing an MBA (graduating in May) and building a recruiting/hiring-manager-focused product—prototype complete, validating demand, and aiming to launch an MVP within ~2 months before fundraising.”

“Operations/finance leader who joined Google during a rapid growth phase (circa 2007–2008) and built foundational analytics and governance systems across revenue, partnerships, and global marketing finance. Known for shifting organizations from qualitative/"feel" decisions to metrics-driven quota setting, deal evaluation (including cannibalization and margin thresholds), and ROI-based marketing budgeting while aligning senior stakeholders like CFO and CMO.”
