Matthew T. Spence
A strategic, creative and supportive Executive Coach and Consultant who has dedicated my life and career to helping leaders drive high performance organizations while becoming the best versions of themselves, I have over 25 years of experience in internal leadership roles. I've led talent management / talent development strategy and execution at an enterprise level in some of the world’s most iconic and successful global organizations: Meta (Facebook), Levi Strauss & Co., Nike, and Gap Inc.
I've led teams both large and small in highly unique cultures and complex high-growth global businesses, and was most recently an executive at Collibra, a late-stage SaaS startup navigating significant economic headwinds in a rapidly changing software industry.
I live with my wife and two teenage sons in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a former marathon runner and triathlete who now finds my challenges on the mountain. I'm an avid hiker and recently successfully completed the 29029 Everesting challenge, hiking the equivalent of Mt. Everest (29,029 vertical feet) in 34 hours in Sun Valley, Idaho in June 2024.
