Testimonials

“I have known Matt for several years and found him to be a talented professional with keen problem solving skills. He was able to make some key introductions to help break bureaucratic log jams in Enservio’s effort to bring a value added service to thousands of homeowners with insurance claims. I have also had an opportunity to work with Matt in the non-profit sector and found him to be skilled and effective leader with a strong work ethic and an unimpeachable moral compass. He will bring significant value to any organization lucky enough to have him.“

— Jim Fini, Enservio Founder and Board Member

“I have known Matt for the past sixteen years. Initially as my colleague at Standard and Poor’s and for the past eleven years (since I moved to JP Morgan) he was the head of Investor relations at Liberty Mutual. Matt is a very hard working and reliable individual with excellent analytical skills. I always found Matt to be responsive to clients both during his tenure at S&P and more recently at Liberty mutual. He has covered complex insurance companies as an analyst and his analytical skills and judgment were of very high quality. I have no hesitation in recommending Matt to any position in the financial industry and I am sure he would prove to be an asset to any organization.”

Re: Decoding S&P’s New Insurance Criteria

“This is a must have course for insurance and investment professionals that don’t understand the ratings process. Matt’s experience as an insurance insider and rating agency analyst makes this course useful and extremely valuable.”

— Jeffrey Bernstein, Cutwater Asset Management

Re: Decoding S&P’s New Insurance Criteria

“If you want to understand the way S&P rates insurers, I highly recommend this course. Not only does Matt go through the ratings process, but also provides case studies that illustrate how analysts apply the ratings methodology. Be prepared to do some work.”
