About Matthew Robbins

As the VP of Portfolio Management at Acuity Brands, I lead the development and implementation of portfolio management processes and best practices across the company\'s diverse and innovative product lines. I have over 10 years of experience in business and product leadership, with a focus on growth, innovation, ecosystems, collaboration, and successful execution.In my previous roles at Resideo, I delivered over two years of 10%+ annual revenue growth across a $2B product portfolio, initiated a $100M IoT partnership opportunity with a major retail brand, and implemented integrated business planning and product lifecycle management programs that improved sales forecast accuracy, supply resilience, product roadmaps, and SKU rationalization. I have a PhD in Chemistry from Stanford University, and I leverage my analytical skills and domain expertise to solve complex problems and create value for customers and stakeholders. My mission is to transform organizations and products to meet strategic business challenges and customer needs in fast-paced and uncertain environments.
