About Matthew Simpson

I thrive at the intersection of business and technology, where I can help organizations navigate their digital transformation journeys. With over 30 years of experience in IT leadership and business operations, I've had the privilege of working with talented teams to drive measurable results. My journey has taken me from designing IBM systems to leading major cloud migrations at CIPROMS, where I transformed operations that significantly improved profitability. At The Purple Guys, I took on the challenge of leading market recovery for a $5M region. It was more than just stabilizing operations; it was about creating a culture where accountability and collaboration flourished. By focusing on improving client retention and reducing staff turnover, we not only met our goals but also built a resilient team ready to tackle future challenges. During my time as Senior Vice President at CIPROMS, I played an integral role in launching new cloud services while overseeing significant workforce changes that enhanced operational efficiency. One of my proudest moments was leading a team through a major cloud infrastructure migration that resulted in a 25% increase in productivity across departments. My earlier experiences at IBM taught me the importance of clear communication and strategic thinking. From delivering technical presentations globally to developing marketing strategies for independent solution vendors, each role shaped my understanding of how technology can empower businesses to reach their full potential. Outside of work, I’m passionate about continuous learning—whether it's diving into the latest tech trends or mentoring emerging leaders in the industry. I believe that sharing knowledge is key to fostering innovation.
