About Matt
My career looks scattered if you're reading a resume. Anthropology degree. Non-profit marketing director. MBA. Consulting. Global eCommerce leadership. AI implementation.
From my side, it's been a straight line: curiosity about how things work, and a drive to help people do their work better.
I started in anthropology because I wanted to understand humans. I taught at the university level, led marketing for an international non-profit, got an MBA when I realized my marketing instincts needed structure, then spent four years building websites and running campaigns for clients across industries—med spas to global tech companies.
At Kensington, I grew from consultant to leading their global digital marketing and Amazon teams. I built reporting systems that cut monthly analysis from 40 hours to 4. I designed AI tools that reduced content creation time by half. I led accessibility remediation across 10,000+ pages.
Now I work at the intersection of AI and customer experience for a global eCommerce company, helping teams implement AI solutions to real operational problems.
Why AI
I didn't chase AI—it found me. I'd worked with machine learning models for years before LLMs went mainstream. When ChatGPT hit, I was already building automation workflows and looking for efficiency gains.
I became "the AI guy" by accident. People started asking questions. I started building trainings, frameworks, and agents that solved actual problems. At some point, helping teams implement AI stopped being a side interest and became the work.
Who I Am
Faith, family, and fitness keep me centered. I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), lift, and run—not because I love suffering, but because discipline in one area carries into others. I see work as an act of worship: a way to use what I've been given well.
How Elisha Consulting was Founded
The name: Elisha (ee-LIE-shuh) was the apprentice of the prophet Elijah. According to tradition, he performed twice as many miracles as his mentor—the "double portion." I started Elisha Consulting to help businesses grow while also serving non-profits at reduced rates. Two purposes, one practice.
