Matt is an Engineering Leader with more than 30 years of experience leading global teams focused on developing high performance products for critical service applications. He currently serves as the Director of Engineering for Greene Tweed and Company, an organization committed to the design and manufacture of high-performance products for use in the Aerospace, Energy, Semiconductor, Industrial and Life Science markets. Prior to moving to Greene Tweed, his experience at Tyco International also included designing and developing control system components used in the power generation industry, which are necessary for both fossil fuel and nuclear plant efficiency and safe operations.

In addition to leading product design as a technical leader, Matt has also provided direction to several organizational design and digital transformation initiatives. Within these initiatives, Matt provided the vision and led organizational change in structure to capitalize on the talents of a global multi-cultural Engineering team as well as grow capabilities through the addition of new functional team components. In his digital transformation leadership, Matt has been recognized for his ability to reimagine the merger of process and technology to drive greater resource and workflow efficiency.

As an Engineering leader in the Aerospace Industry, Matt participated as a member of SAE International. His contributions included serving as a committee panel leader and content author for technical documents including component specifications and maintenance guidance documents for aircraft landing gear. He also served as a member of several industry test initiatives to find alternative surface coatings to replace the hazardous hexavalent chrome used in many flight critical aircraft components, presenting test findings and recommendations to the SAE committee which were later adopted in industry documents.

In the completion of his PhD, Matt concentrated his research on the relationship between leadership, employee positive psychology and employee innovative behavior. His conclusions supported correlations between the influence of components of authentic leadership on employee psychological capital as well as employee’s deployment of their innovative behavior. In addition to providing scholarly content on emerging leadership, positive psychology, and innovative behavior topics, his research findings provide guidance for organizational practitioners by emphasizing that certain leadership behaviors are critically connected to employee engagement in discretionary behavior necessary to innovation. 

Matt holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers University, an MBA from Penn State University, and a PhD in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University. He lives in Harleysville, PA with his wife Lisa and their two children. He is a community volunteer with the Harleysville Football Club, where he has coached youth soccer teams for several seasons.
