About Matthew Schmitt

My interest in the technology industry came about from the exciting opportunities that came my uncle’s way because of his career in technology. That opened my eyes at a young age that I wanted those opportunities as well and brought my focus to study math and ultimately engineering. I was always strong in English, but I knew I wanted to focus on strengthening my math skills. I learned early in my career that my strength is identifying and digging into problems and working to find ways to solve them using technology. Efficiency and quality are the basis for all my decisions as I continuously strive to deliver the best products and experiences for the customer. Ultimately, I focus on key results and quickly learn and adapt to market changes and new insights. I have been fortunate to hold leadership positions in Europe as Global Strategy Management, China as Director Process and IT, and in the US as Service Delivery Director, Director Technology Innovation and Chief Information Officer. These experiences have taught me a lot about creative problem solving, and the importance of diversity in teams and companies. My career progression has developed my skills in the following: • Collaboration, achieving consensus • Impacting day-to-day operations to achieve enterprise objectives • Ability to analyze, evaluate and prioritize at speed to drive execution • Change and project/program management • Skilled in crisis management, calm in the face of adversity • Verbal and written communication both internally and externally • Lead and align teams • Ability to identify simple solutions to complex problems Professional Skills Project Management | Team Development | Strategic Planning | Project Portfolio Management | IT Operations | Problem Solving | Leadership | Communication | Innovation Management | Technology Roadmaps | Relationship Building | Customer Service | Implementations | Domain Knowledge Business Intelligence | Integrations | Disaster Recovery | SaaS | Microsoft Azure | Process Development & Improvement | Salesforce | SharePoint | Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)| I am currently searching for a role with titles like, VP of IT, VP Technology, IT Director, Innovation, Service Delivery or Customer Success.
