Onward...Aligning Careers and Missions
Matt Miszewski
CEO/CRO/CIO Board member and advisor. Corporate, Government, Social Enterprise, Nonprofit.
Two images say it all for me in this next adventure...
My career started helping working families, the poor and governments to be able to solve big problems. I went on to run IT for one of our greatest Governors, run Public Sector Sales and Marketing organizations for Microsoft and Salesforce, and performed an incredible turnaround at Digital Realty.
But now I will be able to combine where I started with what I have learned in my corporate career. Today I started working for CEO Kevin Merritt at Socrata in Seattle as his SVP of Sales. Both images below are from their website.
The first is the story of unlocking Government Data to stop the suffering of the homeless in Santa Rosa. And to accomplish this by creating a platform that both the public sector and private sector can innovate on top of to solve some of the world's toughest problems. I have fought for Government as a Platform for over a decade all around the world and it is a thrill to be able to join the fight again.
And the second image tells the story of unlocking the power of data in HHS in our Federal Government to stop the horrendous impact of opioid overprescription in the United States. Many of you know I lost my brother, unexpectedly, this year. Many of you don't know that he died too soon as a result of a system that pays doctors to prescribe opioids repeatedly, and until Open Government Data, did it all in the shadows. Socrata has helped to bring the power of Government Data, in combination with private development, directly to the fight to stop the tragedy that affects too many families in the US.
I am thrilled to join Kevin and the Socrata family in these and other incredible fights to change the world and lead that change with data. Check us out at socrata.com

7 年Matt, we are thrilled to have you join the team at Socrata. Your energy and passion for helping government improve society is palpable and infectious. The most innovative governments are leading with data - using data to solve problems, improve outcomes and operational efficiencies. Adding you to the team reinforces our commitment to the "talent trifecta" that is a hallmark of vertical industry cloud leaders: not only strong technical and sales acumen, but deep industry expertise. You've devoted much of your professional career to the public sector, both as Chief Information Officer for the State of Wisconsin, and then heading up the government solutions teams at Microsoft and Salesforce.com. Though you've only be on board a short time, you're already bringing to Socrata fresh new insights about how to better serve government. Looking forward to the positive impact you'll have at Socrata, both operationally and culturally.
