NICE TO MEET YOU, I’M… Matt Collum

AND MY ROLE IS… Head of Engineering

MY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE ARE… Twenty years in technology building and leading teams of all shapes and sizes in a variety of different industries. Spent the last five as a FinTech Founder, building a neo-bank on TradFi rails, while looking ever more alluringly at how fast things can be done in crypto/DeFi!

MY DAY TO DAY AT MAPLE LOOKS LIKE… Working with our amazing engineering teams to deliver the sweetest code in DeFi. Collaborating and coordinating with all the functional groups at Maple to make sure we’re moving fast but not breaking anything in the process.

I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT… The team of people I get to work with. It’s a super fun and inspiring group who also happen to be wicked smart, so who wouldn’t want to work every day with that combo. It also doesn’t hurt that the business is firing on all cylinders and is staring at a truly massive market to take down.

MY FAVORITE QUOTE IS… Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn — Benjamin Franklin.

SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT ME IS… I’m Canadian so of course I love maple syrup and obviously the whole family and I play lots of hockey. I write left handed but throw right. I was a semi-serious musician once upon a time and still have the wall of guitars to prove it.

Matt joins a 30+ strong team, with experience from BlockFi, Kraken, Meta, Bank of America, Gemini, Microsoft and Maker to name just a few blue-chip orgs. Team profiles are shared on our site here!
