“Matthew was the Master of Ceremonies at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK’s Tech Forum in 2021 where I was an organiser. It was a hybrid forum on the topic ‘Towards an AI enabled future’ that brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, policy makers and academics to meet, learn and discuss. He was brilliant to work with, helpful in project development, and committed and professional in his role both as an MC and as an expert in his area. I highly recommend Matthew for any similar commitments.”

As the chair of our Deep Dive Tech Talks and moderator for the Fireside Chat on Computer Vision, Matt skillfully guided discussions, ensuring they were both insightful and engaging for everyone involved. His presentation on ‘Is your data Oscar-worthy for AI deployment?’ was another standout moment, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the crucial role of data in the AI landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt for his expertise, effective moderation, and engaging presentation style. It was a pleasure working alongside him at the conference.”
