Matt Geffken
Product and technology leader with 20 years guiding companies from founder-led startups through VC growth to PE-backed enterprises. I’ve sat in CPO and CPTO seats, run global product and engineering orgs, and partnered with CEOs and Boards through growth, integration, and exit. Three times now, I’ve joined a company before a major inflection — a global financial crisis, a total loss of product-market fit, a furious run of M&A paired with global expansion and offshoring. I stayed through the other side of each. That pattern, which looks something like find creative solutions, run diligence, integrate, scale, repeat, is where my operating instincts come from. My advisory work lives at the intersection of strategy and execution, where roadmaps actually get built.
Brooklyn-based. Diehard Tottenham Hotspur fan. Still playing football (soccer) two+ days a week against people who are much faster than I am now. I cook, bake bread, over-engineer cocktails, draw, paint, golf, and vibe code apps and routines to optimize my life. Fascinated by the cosmos and whatever Neil deGrasse Tyson is talking about. And perpetually buying plants I don’t have room for.
