  • “When it comes to proposal writing, there is no one better than Matt! He is methodical, deeply experienced, and doesn’t waste any time getting the right outline, winning points, and setting up each sentence to make the most of the page. Matt knows the formula for a successful proposal and I would recommend him to anyone on teaching both the basics and the skill set that takes a proposal from good to absolutely excellent.”

    – Kim, consultant

  • "I had the opportunity to capture two regional bids in Central Asia with Matt. As part of the capture prep, Matt was able to dive deep into the regional landscape and governance structures, identify key participants to meet with, and tease out critical questions to ask stakeholders. After our few weeks in the region, we were able to come away with an in-depth understanding of what the client was looking for, better understand the draft scopes for the two programs, and understand the competitive landscape."

    — Grace, consultant

  • “Matt is a compelling writer, talented editor, and critical thinker.  He makes the writing of those around him better through his thoughtful approach and intelligent feedback.  Matt is an incredible asset to his teams, helping to push everyone forward towards the ultimate goals and objectives.  I cannot recommend his work highly enough!”
