Armanino CEO and leadership

As chief executive officer and managing partner, Matt focuses on firm-wide growth and bringing innovation to every part of the firm’s infrastructure in order to better create value and drive successful outcomes for clients. He leads the development of Armanino’s short- and long-term plans, including strategic partnerships, new solutions and services, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy and integration.

He previously served as the firm’s chief operating officer, where he was responsible for all internal business functions. He was also integral to the success and explosive growth of the Consulting department, where he led six department-specific acquisitions, as well as new software partnerships, and introduced a deeper range of CFO solutions ― more than tripling the department’s revenues. He also served on the Executive Committee, where he contributed to the firm’s vision, growth strategy and infrastructure development.

Matt brings to his role extensive industry experience in corporate strategy, market development and sales, and service and operations management.
