About Matt Ernest

I sit at the intersection of finance and data — which means I can build the pipeline, run the analysis, and then walk leadership through what it means for the business.My foundation is 20+ years in financial management, portfolio management, and strategic analysis — including managing multi-billion dollar budgets and navigating complex legislative and stakeholder environments. Over the last several years I\'ve layered on a full modern data stack: cloud-based ETL pipelines, centralized analytics infrastructure, AI-assisted workflows, and operational dashboards deployed at scale.What sets me apart is the combination: I understand how money moves through an organization at an executive level, and, utilizing cutting edge AI, I can build the tools to track, analyze, and report on it myself — without waiting on an IT team.Always interested in connecting with leaders who value data-driven decision making. If you\'re looking for someone who can both architect the analytics infrastructure and translate what it means for the business, I\'d love to connect.
