Over 25 years in technical leadership and operations, with 20+ transactions across PE and VC-backed companies - leading technical due diligence, IT strategy, and post-close execution. AWS Certified in Data Analytics. Deep experience across cloud SaaS architecture, Agile/Scrum/Lean delivery, telecom and data infrastructure, and managed services. I currently run virtual and interim/bridge CTO/CIO engagements - due diligence, ERP/Salesforce/ServiceNow assessments, operations audits, and market analysis for clients who need a technology partner they can trust with the answer, not just the process. I also still build. I design and operate production AI infrastructure - a multi-provider AI gateway routing across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, plus the consumer and SaaS products built on top of it. That hands-on work keeps my advice current instead of theoretical. My mission: build the right technology for the client's actual budget and strategy - not the vendor's.","location":{"city":"Tulsa, OK, United States"},"profiles":[{"network":"LinkedIn","username":"matthewblocha","url":"https://linkedin.com/in/matthewblocha"}]},"meta":{"canonical":"https://saywise.com/member1573","version":"v1.0.0","lastModified":"2026-10-05T22:35:43.003Z"},"x_saywise":{"handle":"member1573","pronouns":null,"availability":null,"oneLiner":"I help companies get technology decisions right when the stakes are high - due diligence, M&A, ERP/CRM overhauls, and interim CTO/CIO leadership when there's no time to get it wrong.
