Originally a British industrial designer & artist, Matt turned everything upside down to launch a tech company in Sydney Australia. After a couple of false-starts, Bonjoro was born from a sales hack for his first business, where Matt would send every new lead a personal video instead of a plain-text email. Matt’s love of building great products is only surpassed by his total commitment to building great business culture, and Matt asserts that Bonjoro’s “customers as friends” culture has been the main driver of the businesses success. His goal is to be the next Zappos, to be the most loved brand in the world.

I was born in Ethiopia; my family immigrated to the US when I was 3 years old and I was raised in Northern Virginia. I was always a good student, and ended up attended the University of Virginia, studied Cognitive Neuroscience, and minored in African and African American Studies. Also, I had a pre-med background; after I graduated I completed an internship through Harvard Medical School but ultimately decided that I did not want to become a doctor. Around the same time I was introduced to mentors who revealed to me how to develop real wealth in America. Today I work full-time as a Program Coordinator for a mental health non-profit, in governance, research and policy, but outside of that I am developing assets through social commerce and securing my financial independence.
