Hi, I'm Matt

I enjoy working at the intersection of technology and business. At Blueflame, we apply AI to private markets – building agents that help investors and bankers accelerate deal processes and reach better outcomes. I lead our product strategy team, bridging the capabilities we develop with the needs and expectations of our clients, informed by industry experience.

My background is in private equity – most recently at Recognize, partnering with the next generation of technology services businesses, and before that at Audax Group, investing in healthcare and technology.

I'm fascinated by the ways in which AI is reshaping our lives and energized by the opportunity to apply it thoughtfully. Lately, I've been thinking about how we can best integrate agents into knowledge work and balance their powerful analytical capabilities with our essential human judgment. I prefer to take a curious and optimistic view of the world and enjoy meeting new people with similar (and different!) interests.
