Background

About Matt Stokes

I'm a resourceful, versatile mechanical engineer with 15 years of progressive international management experience and a proven track record of results in both product design and development, and strategic business development. Equal parts detail-oriented engineer, high-level strategic thinker and diplomatic team- and relationship-builder, I’m passionate about developing and launching product while simultaneously optimizing internal systems and standards to ensure continuous improvement of the product and its delivery. Specialities and strengths: • Cradle-to-grave development and management of robust, cost-effective products through application of engineering fundamentals, proven leadership skills and agile problem-solving. • Intuitive, diplomatic influencer and mediator who quickly builds trust and accountability with direct reports, internal stakeholders, customers and suppliers. • Fast-paced, growth environments where I can build relationships, inspire teams and achieve positive outcomes in time- and cost-sensitive situations. • Rapid risk assessment and resolution of both high-level strategic and floor-level tactical challenges.
