Outcomes, and how information can best be used to achieve the client's business goals, are what drives Mathew. He's a fixer who prides himself on simplifying the issues to get to the heart of a problem, then just as quickly recommends how best to solve it. He works from the belief that great information is not about collecting numbers and providing reams of charts: it's really all about engaging audiences.

Mathew has worked with a diverse range of partners from economic development groups to arts groups, from energy & utility companies to museums and tourism attractions. And he helped lead the re-development of one of Canada's most iconic brands, the Calgary Stampede.

A convincing and engaging communicator, he always delivers objective answers to hard questions. No stalling. No BS. Just clear, simple answers and direction.
