Matt's career began on the ramp and eventually led to the executive suite. The years in between are what shape his work at Cloudline.
After starting in line service, Matt went on to serve as General Manager of Wilson Air Center in Houston and later held leadership roles at TAC Air. He learned aviation as a service business first: the work happens in real time, details matter, and leaders need to understand what the people closest to the aircraft and customer actually do.
At FlightAware, Matt applied that operating background to a digital business. He helped build the company's commercial organization, expand the role of its data throughout aviation, and guide the business through its acquisition by Collins Aerospace. He later served as FlightAware's President and General Manager.
At Cloudline, those parts of his career come together: blue-collar roots, executive-level leadership, hands-on execution, and experience turning technology into meaningful operational change.
Matt holds a BS and MBA from the University of Texas at Austin. He is a commercial, multi-engine and instrument-rated pilot and an active aircraft operator.
