About Matthew Gardea
I build stories that earn trust, clarify complexity, and shape how people see the world around a brand.For more than 16 years, I’ve led communications for Amazon, Warner Bros, and NBCUniversal—helping global companies translate scale into something human. My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, leadership, and systems thinking, where narrative becomes both strategy and signal. I use AI and data to inform what I write, but instinct guides how I tell it. Every message begins with listening, every campaign with empathy, and every story with purpose. I don’t chase headlines. I shape understanding because getting the story right is how you build something that lasts.
Experience
Public Relations Executive & Spokesperson
May 2022 — Present
I oversee external communications for Amazon across six Western states, guiding how the company shows up in some of its most visible and diverse markets. My role combines strategic counsel, narrative development, and spokesperson responsibilities to strengthen trust and visibility at both local and regional levels.I lead media engagement, executive messaging, and community storytelling that reflect Amazon’s presence as a major employer and partner in every market we serve. Working across public policy, operations, and economic development, I align narratives that connect business impact with community relevance.I integrate AI-informed insight and data analysis into our communications process to refine storytelling and improve alignment across teams. The goal is simple: to make sure Amazon is seen, heard, and understood with clarity and integrity.
