JIRA CONSULTING
I've been involved with over 1,000 project teams in Jira during my 10+ years as an Atlassian Architect. These projects came from all business functions, and there were a few that I helped grow into 500-1,000 person initiatives. While working with 3M, the user presence went from 2,000 users to over 14,000. I was able to scale our operations along with this exponential growth and received several customer services accolades even though the size of our team stayed the same. I have an extensive background in agile, process improvement, and lean six sigma. After running many successful installations, upgrades, integrations with other systems, and optimization projects within this space - I take pride in delivering a quality experience & empowering end-users.
PROJECT/PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
I have led more than a dozen projects over the past few years within the software development space.

You do not need another task-based virtual assistant, nor do you need a tech consultant pushing hype from an ivory tower. You need a seasoned, battle-tested operator who will roll up their sleeves, get your poop in a group, and give you the total operational clarity you need to actually lead your company with modern infrastructure.
I am Matt. Over the last 20 years, I have bootstrapped, scaled, and optimized healthy, highly profitable businesses up to $10MM in revenue, managing hundreds of employees across multiple states. I have lived in the operational trenches. I do not just consult. I dig in, do the heavy lifting with you, and get shit done.
I know firsthand that great companies are built on great people and strong team culture. But over the last 3 years, I have transformed my own businesses by pairing that human-first leadership with cutting-edge AI and practical automations. I use modern technology to eliminate friction, bring order to back-office chaos, and give owners crystal-clear visibility into their entire operation. And to do the things that are not getting done but should be.
My mission is to give business owners total clarity and purpose. I construct the modern infrastructure that lets your team execute at a high level, freeing you up to actually lead the company.
Here is what I bring to your leadership table:
* Operational Clarity & Getting Shit Done: When your business feels chaotic or stuck, I bring order. I help business owners cut through the noise, untangle complex issues, organize messy processes, and gain absolute control so they can scale with confidence.
* People, Team & Culture First: Tools and systems fail if your people do not buy in. Having managed hundreds of employees, I build accountability structures and team frameworks that foster high performance, clear communication, and pride in execution.
* Modern AI & Smart Automation Execution: I bring 20 years of battle-tested business wisdom into the modern era. Over the last 3 years, I have personally built hands-on automated systems that boost sales conversions, automate follow-up, optimize CRMs, power custom HR learning management systems (LMS), and generate real-time executive dashboards.
* Scaling Operations & Fractional Leadership (1 to 3): Whether stepping in as an Acting CEO or Fractional COO, I specialize in taking messy growth and professionalizing it. I establish clear accountability metrics, stabilize cash flow, handle compliance, and fix operational bottlenecks.
* Startups (0 to 1): I help bootstrapped founders identify core goals, build robust business plans, design go-to-market strategies, and construct the initial operating frameworks required to launch cleanly.
* Platform-Agnostic Systems & SOPs: Whether your team runs on Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, ADP, Trello, Asana, Monday, or EOS/Traction, I adapt to your stack. I build practical automated workflows and clear, easy-to-follow SOPs so your team actually executes them.
To be radically transparent: I am a C+ at building complex manual pivot tables, but I am an A at rolling up my sleeves, organizing messy businesses, and establishing the operational clarity that stops leadership drag.
If you are ready to transition your business from chaotic survival to a clear, highly controlled, and profitable growth engine, let us set up a 30-minute call to see if we are a fit.
