How Matthew is building a better working world

“Consumers are becoming more demanding. At the same time, supply chains are becoming more complex and global in nature – involving multiple parties, transactions, handoffs and crossing dozens of countries. I focus on how we can meet the needs of the connected consumer and streamline the supply chain to reduce complexity, waste and cost.”
