Matt joined the SCC team in 2007, but it’s definitely not his first team experience. While earning his B.A. in Communications/Electronic Media (and minor in business), Matt also was an All-American football player at the University of Northern Iowa. He holds the national FCS record for sacks in a career and played semi-professional football for the Sioux City Bandits.
Now, he brings his competitive drive to his day-to-day work at SCC as an account executive. Each day, he works with our clients and prospective clients to understand their business objectives and strategies so that he can recommend a winning technology approach. To do this, he relies on the SCC consulting team, as well as his own expertise as an IBM System X Certified Specialist and a WatchGuard Certified Professional.
Matt’s favorite work is to help clients find innovative ways for technology to enable growth and success. With a non-profit client, he determined that they needed software that wasn’t even on the market yet…but would soon be going through a technical test with Microsoft. Matt nominated his client. This was a tough request, since the twenty-five participants in the program had already been chosen, and one of them was already an SCC client. But that was a challenge Matt couldn’t resist. So, he worked with the client to create a short, fun video to introduce the client to the Microsoft team, and to demonstrate how SCC and the client would provide great value to Microsoft (and vice versa). Needless to say, the strategy was a winning one…for Microsoft and for our client, and Microsoft made an exception to include them in the test.
Being an SCC account executive is not just about selling. Matt understands the SCC way. He understands our clients’ business needs and finds the best technology and services to meet them. It’s a winning combination.
