“Matt brings a wealth of experience, maturity, and seemingly-boundless energy to address the increasingly challenging problems faced by organizations in the modern security environment. He has dedicated himself to not only improving his place of work, but the entire information risk management industry in the region. He did this by leading professional groups, teaching classes, and inviting experts to present on information risk management topics. I worked with Matt for some years as both his manager and peer early in his meteoric rise in the information risk management profession and frankly, you couldn't do better. Matt has excellent soft skills, an uncommon understanding of the technical side, and remarkably deep insights into the compliance aspects of the ever changing field that is information risk management. Even though he had the gall to leave our shared place of work, I still consider him a good friend, a great resource, and an excellent ambassador for information security and risk management.”
