Background

About Matthew Schmidt

Matthew is a proven Go-To-Market (GTM) expert with a track record of delivering sustainable, profitable growth for clients. He partners with top private equity firms and leading organizations to craft data-driven, customer-centric strategies that drive revenue and create equity value. As a former collegiate and professional football player, Matthew is defined by his team-first mentality and dedication to excellence. His experience in sports taught him the foundations of how to succeed in business - set an aspirational goal, create a team with the skills needed to achieve the goal and the role clarity for how they can serve the team, create a culture of excellence, perform under pressure, hold each other accountable, give and receive feedback to achieve incremental improvement, and celebrate every little win along the journey. Today, Matthew combines this unique athletic perspective with deep GTM expertise to unlock potential in any business he serves. Matthew's personal business philosophy is that achieving real results comes from having a clear strategy on "where to play" and "how to win," then executing repeatable tactics with excellence—day in and day out—much like the “blocking and tackling” that drives wins on the field. Matthew has worked with over 30 clients (PE Owned & Publicly Traded:$50M -$20B+ in Revenue) across a range of industries—including technology, manufacturing, business services, healthcare, and private equity. His projects have spanned go-to-market strategy, commercial org restructuring & operating model design, sales, marketing & customer success effectiveness, and value creation planning for PE portfolio companies. Matthew specializes in identifying stage-appropriate growth initiatives and designing efficient go-to-market approaches based on where a company is at in its growth journey and market factors.
