Matthew Monte uses his business acumen to make technology more accessible to the public. "I have never practiced engineering as an isolated exercise," he explains. "Instead, I have developed ways to help others understand it." He graduated with honors from Michigan Tech with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a masters degree in environmental engineering.
Matt has a passion for communication. He is a dynamic speaker and strategist. After studying Japanese for a year in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, and spending a year at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, Matt enrolled in Michigan Tech's PhD program in Rhetoric and Technical Communication. Studying rhetoric gave Matt a theoretical basis for his already-substantial intercultural communication experience. After two years, however, Matt realized he wasn't satisfied with theory alone. He needed something more creative.
He became an experienced salesman after taking over a new line of industrial parts-cleaning systems for Cuda Corp. From his sales experience, Matt knows how to market products. A renaissance man with no supporting staff, Matt prepared everything from photography to quotes to preliminary engineering layouts in CAD. "Although starting out I had no experience in the market and my competition held most of the technological advantages, I leveraged my background in technical communication and engineering to produce excellent results. Within two years, sales went from near-zero into the millions," Matt says.
Matt is experienced in corporate leadership. After leaving Cuda Corporation, Matt founded Nautilus Processing Systems, Inc. and served as its President. Later, Matt formed Monte Consulting Company. Offering a comprehensive array of communications and practical marketing experience, Monte Consulting Company has helped dozens of high-technology and traditional brick-and-mortar organizations reach record sales. Monte Consulting connects our clients to their customers through effective writing, graphics, video, and 3-D animation.
