Matt is co-founder of SYSTM (formerly Startup Core Strengths) and is obsessed with how startups can take a team of a dozen or so talented people to create a business and grow to be worth billions, help millions of people, and change the world.
He joined PayPal in 2004 as head of growth, made plenty of mistakes along the way and has spent the last 9 years with startups, studying, experimenting, and looking for patterns of success and failure to discover what works consistently across companies, and what fails.
He published, ‘Growth Levers and How to Find Them’ in 2024. In the words of Sean Ellis:
“What every founder needs to know about marketing – read this before you hire a Head of Growth.”
He lives outside London with his wife, a molecular biologist and two daughters.
