An experienced, well-respected and active participant in the private markets, Matt has spent the last 20+ years covering all functional areas of the private markets from both an allocator and investor lens.
Most recently, Matt built the investment capability from the ground up as an early employee at a fintech start-up called Allocate, focused on offering high-quality venture capital and alternative investment opportunities to a broader investor base in a fully digital experience.
Prior to that role, Matt was a senior leader co-managing MetLife's Alternative Investments Portfolio, investing globally and across strategies. Prior to that, he was the Head of Private Equity at a large independent OCIO after spending his formative years learning the PE business at Hamilton Lane (NASDAQ: HLNE) during its early growth, before it became the world's pre-eminent private markets allocator.
These experiences allowed him to invest with and on behalf of some of the largest limited partners in the world, as well as work directly on the front lines in client facing roles, with high net worth clients and large sophisticated institutional investors.
In addition, Matt has been directly and indirectly involved with the management and oversight (including serving on several advisory boards) of hundreds of general partner relationships during his career, across the full spectrum of private capital investment strategies.
