Matt was also an early investor in the clean energy economy, working in venture capital for nearly 10 years before beginning his executive career.
When he’s not at work building innovative EV charging companies, Matt enjoys outdoor adventures with his family in the mountains of California and beyond. He remains active in the cleantech startup community, including as a mentor and an investor.
“Voltera is in a unique position to really drive the deployment of EV charging infrastructure at scale, and move us forward toward a zero-emission future. It’s why I’m so proud to be part of this team.”
