Matthew Ivan

I am a technology leader who speaks the language of engineering, finance, and competitive strategy; enabling boards to bridge the gap between what technology can do and what creates stakeholder value. My expertise is rooted in hands-on infrastructure leadership at enterprise scale. For example, I have managed $40M+ in cloud vendor relationships across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including strategic negotiations, contract architecture, and multi-year portfolio optimization. This operational depth spans Aerospace, Media & Entertainment, and Financial Technology, sectors with radically different regulatory, margin, and competitive dynamics. This wide breadth of experience offers me unique pattern recognition and adaptability, helping help me quickly assess new industries and business models.

I bridge technical depth, financial fluency, and strategic judgment to advise leadership teams on platform economics, AI governance, and ecosystem orchestration. My cross-sector experience enables me to evaluate technology investments through risk-adjusted and optionality-preserving lenses; helping boards oversee multi-cloud strategy that reduces lock-in risk, builds operational resilience, and compounds competitive advantage without sacrificing performance. Whether assessing M&A technology due diligence, governing AI adoption with appropriate guardrails, or ensuring infrastructure investments improve unit economics and capital efficiency, I help companies scale through disciplined capital allocation rather than undifferentiated spending.

I am particularly drawn to growth-stage and enterprise boards where technology modernization meets strategic transformation; companies navigating digital disruption, evaluating AI integration, or scaling infrastructure that needs both technical rigor and fiduciary oversight.
