About Matt Turner

I have several years of experience as a finance/investment professional, culminating in my most recent role in Strategy & Corporate Development at Samsung. I have been instrumental in identifying and sourcing attractive investment assets, crafting strategic investment theses, and constructing, managing, and optimizing investment portfolios tailored to the firm\'s risk tolerance and financial goals. My robust financial acumen, including strong understanding of financial due diligence process, extensive experience on both buy-side and sell-side investments, building C-suite buy-in, driving corporate strategy, conducting detailed financial modeling, and valuing investable assets, have helped create value at the organization. I played a similar role at Kimberly-Clark positioning that company for exponential growth. I enjoy the challenge of determining and analyzing a range of scenarios, steering the firm toward the most financially sound decision, and developing the negotiating strategy to secure the best value for the company. My career began with Lockheed Martin and Ball Aerospace as a systems engineer, where I designed satellites. Having a background in engineering roles, I possess a depth of technical knowledge that many companies covet. Coupled with that knowledge base are my abilities to identify various growth opportunities, look strategically at how to accelerate growth in organizations, and gaining buy-in from executive committees and boards of directors on the solutions.Specialties: Broad Investment ExperienceAsset AllocationPublic MarketsVenture CapitalPrivate EquityFinancial modelingPresentations to C-suite executives and boards of directorsValuationDue DiligenceStructuring and negotiating transactionsLeadershipManagement of cross-functional teams
