Superior strategy-development — he can tease out opportunity, priorities, and scope very effectively in complex and large assignments. Among the strongest strategic thinkers I have ever known. And rarely without a smile.
The benefit of his work was clear and foundational. He navigates disparate ideas and positions with deep-seated resistance. This earned credibility with the board directors and physician leaders. I write this with the advantage of hindsight, and better appreciate how his ability to implement plans further complements what was already an accomplished service to our organization.
He shows a very strong aptitude for system, organization, and operations strategy and communicated these effectively. Champions the needs of patients and staff in transformation work that is usually dominated by cost-reduction.
He helped me make the organization and operations more integrated, supportive, and efficient while respecting the valuable role that culture and staff plays in being a high-performing organization.
Board and staff came to rely on Matthew for governance reform, corporate strategy and subsidiary structures, corporate and executive performance evaluations, and running broad consultations. He earned the respect and trust of the Board and Executive Committee and was seen as someone who consistently performed at a superior level.
Completely unlike other executives I have known. I was impressed with Matthew’s ability to work with large groups of medical, clinical, and management professionals. His leadership and negotiation skills helped move projects past standoffs. He operates at an unusually capable level.
Matthew brings a wide range of cross-functional skills and abilities to the executive tables. These helped us solve a significant and long-standing challenge. It was a pleasure to work with someone as encouraging, perceptive, and committed as Matthew.
