Value of first calls with Matt
“This was golden, Matt. Thanks for this. I think it really opened up my eyes on a lot of things. I'm actually surprised at how little interaction we had and then how specific you were able to get about our important problems. Either you're using really good LLMs about our tool, or you are really smart about devtools.”

Working with Matt as an AE
Direct from public LinkedIn recommendations
“Matt will be a top producer on your sales team. We're parting on the best of terms and he's the best AE I've ever worked with. Using his tech/consulting/PM background he does things systematically in a way others don't tend to think about. We can't comp him what he'd be worth elsewhere. Two other uncommon force multipliers: He shares what he's learned with other AEs, and referred other top talent to us.”

“Matt "MDP" was LaunchDarkly’s top Enterprise AE by attainment in his ramp year, and led in both revenue and attainment in his first full year selling. I then selected him to report directly to me and turn around our struggling SDR and BDR teams. Within a year he’d run a turnaround, been promoted to Senior Director, selected a great successor, and moved back to selling in a Strategic AE role. I strongly recommend MDP for any Sales, Strategy or Operations role!”
CRO, LaunchDarkly (now President, Ironclad)
“I highly recommend Matt as an exceptional account executive. His drive and tenacity in achieving his goals are truly remarkable, as demonstrated by his instrumental role in helping us increase our average contract value (ACV) and secure the largest deals in the company's history. Matt exceeded expectations in his first year at GrowthBook, achieving 169% of his sales target. Beyond hitting numbers, Matt contributed significantly to improving our sales processes and practices, making our pipeline more predictable and scalable. His technical expertise is another standout trait—he has a deep understanding of our product’s advanced features and communicates them clearly to clients, bridging the gap between technical and business needs. Matt is not only focused on his own success but is deeply invested in the company's success. He consistently shares valuable insights contributing to product development and strategy, demonstrating his commitment to building a better business. I highly recommend Matt for any role where technical aptitude, strategic thinking, and strong sales performance are essential.”
