About Matthew Ashton

With a strong foundation in healthcare and a successful transition into Information Technology, I bring over 20 years of experience in planning, managing, and implementing IT and security-centric business solutions. I began my career in the US Army, where I served as a medic and nurse, followed by roles in acute care within civilian hospitals. This diverse background has shaped my approach to problem-solving, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering results.In my subsequent career in IT, I have become an accomplished IT/Security and Sales professional, adept at navigating the intersection of business objectives and technical solutions. As a leader and key liaison, I work to ensure seamless communication between stakeholders, guaranteeing that project timelines, quality standards, and cost targets are consistently met. My expertise spans a broad range of IT systems, security protocols, and business solutions, with a focus on delivering high-impact results for both clients and organizations.
