About Matvey
Strategic Recovery Lead with a formidable dual background in business strategy (MBA) and deep-tier systems engineering (CCIE Emeritus, CISSP, AWS Architect). Expert in the "messy middle ground" where boardroom vision meets technical reality, with a 20-year track record of navigating high-stakes, mission-critical environments.
Three times retained by the Board of Directors at Nomios to stabilize distressed business units and architect core IP, directly facilitating two successful private equity exits. Specialist in industrializing operations, scaling revenue (10x growth), and delivering high-velocity IP—notably replacing failing multi-million Euro enterprise implementations (Salesforce) with lean, AI-integrated architectures. A proven "Company Doctor" and Venture Builder focused on maximizing valuation, driving operational resilience, and delivering results under extreme resource constraints.
I am based in the Netherlands, but my mindset is Global. I specialize in international turnarounds and high-stakes infrastructure projects, primarily serving the UK, US, and EMEA markets where speed and intellectual rigour are the standard.
