Minneapolis, Minnesota
My name is Matt. I am based out of Minneapolis, MN. I can accommodate any time zone as you need. I have started and scaled multiple businesses in different industries to millions of dollars in sales profitably. I own and operate businesses in 5 different states managing 100+ employees. I have been successful in my endeavors because I understand what it takes to start and scale a company to millions of dollars in sales profitably. Over the past 5 years I have focused much of my business consulting on startups. I love helping bootstrapped founders / business owners launch their products, services & business by identifying founder goals, building business plans, go to market strategies, processes & systems that support the founders goals. My Resume: I have dedicated both my personal and professional life to helping others live with intent. For the past 20 years, I have built and managed multiple businesses that do just that. Through a portfolio of companies, I create opportunities that promote self-discovery and enable our customers to experience emotion. Born into a family of entrepreneurs, I founded my first company while I was still in high school. Since then, I have repeatedly identified new opportunities and moved quickly to build the organizations, products, and resources to open new markets and create meaningful impact. Regardless of the industry-from professional sports to escape rooms-my teams and I work every day to create a world in which we want to live, one filled with intent. Career highlights: ➜ Pioneered a cutting-edge product and service strategy that developed an adventure park into the area’s top-ranked destination for experience-based entertainment. ➜ Launched and led a business that became the nation’s third-largest escape room company. ➜ Established company that became the official statistics provider to two professional sports leagues. Underpinning my successes is my ability to create winning marketing strategies that fuel rapid growth. By fully understanding the market and target customers, I create resource-light and high-ROI growth marketing campaigns across digital and traditional channels. Further, by creating a culture that encourages personal and professional growth, I surround myself with employees that go the extra mile for our customers, our co-workers, and ourselves.
