Matt Signorello

Matt is a one-of-a-kind leader. I was very fortunate to work for him over the last four years at Volvo Car USA, and during this time I observed his unique style of leadership and management, as well as received regular coaching. In these four years, we saw the team grow from 3 of us (including Matt) to more than 10 people including operations and software engineering. This growth is a testament to his strong capabilities as a team-oriented leader and it was driven by compelling results. Matt's rare and valuable trait as a manager is the ability to communicate a clear vision or goal for his team to achieve, while also enabling autonomy and empowerment to the team in the way that it is reached. With Matt's guidance and leadership, we have had several accomplishments to be proud of over the years, and we always happily worked hard for him as a result.

His drive and motivation is only surpassed by his tenacity to do what's right. I could not have asked for a better co-worker and operational leader during our time working together.

Matt is the type of teammate, and coworker, that can genuinely connect with you on a personal level while consistently raising the quality of your work. I found his particular makeup of technical knowledge, interpersonal soft skills and product competency rare and actively sought out situations to involve him as I knew he would add value to the initiative and support the creation, and launch, of the most desirable product. Any team would be lucky to have him, and I look forward to future collaboration.

Matt is a true team builder. He has an eye for finding personalities that can both be rockstars on their own but also contribute to a team building friendships and great team trust. Matt has the technical acumen to jump into any conversation and navigate it without sounding lost while being able to easily communicate and explain the solutions he can provide. He is a people pleaser who does not shy away from providing his expertise to help solutions across various departments. I have seen Matt build multiple high performing teams at different companies who have gone on to become core groups that become heavily relied on by the rest of the company. And he has a way of doing this in a fun, friendly and entertaining environment that's both technically challenging and highly rewarding.

Matt is unique in that he possesses the drive, dedication and professionalism of an experienced leader yet has the cross-functional insight to be able to add value at all levels within an organization.
