Matt Taylor – Director, Corporate Finance at National Grid

I have close to 20 years of experience in both Corporate and Operational finance roles.  I received my BS, MBA, and MSF from Boston College, and then spent twelve years at Staples in Corporate FP&A, Financial Systems, Internal Controls, Shared Services reporting and analysis, Records Management, and M&A. I then moved to Chicago as the Divisional CFO of Quill ($1.3B Ecommerce subsidiary of Staples).  I left Staples in 2016 to join Brightcove ($150M Video SaaS company, NASDAQ:BCOV) as the VP of Finance responsible for FP&A, Business Intelligence, Salesforce.com administration, and Investor Relations support.  I recently joined the regulated utility industry with National Grid USA as the Director of Corporate Finance responsible for Budgeting, Forecasting, and Financial Reporting.  I spend my free time with my wife and four boys up on Cape Ann.
