About Matthew Pellish

I am a experienced Higher Education Executive with a passion for education and a strong belief in the power of technology to transform the field. After nearly 20 years of experience, first at colleges and universities, and more recently at fast-growing startups and some of the largest companies in the ed tech industry, I bring a unique blend of skills in leadership, communication, research, advisory services, sales, account management, and strategy development. I use data-driven insights to inform and drive strategic decision-making, with a focus on maximizing the impact of technology in education. I am committed to using my extensive leadership experience, builder and fixer mentality, and passion for education to help organizations achieve both margin and mission, and bring about positive change in the field and the world.My work has focused primarily on higher education and health care, but I also spend a growing amount of time as private consultant to various organizations, start-ups, and colleges across the country. After 10+ years on the road presenting to clients, conferences, and events I freelance as public speaking coach to CEOs, Presidents, and Government.
