Matthew Markee’s Summary

My progression has been from large company to a renewable energy startup in a rapidly growing industry to a venture management group focused on helping small companies grow. This has been a conscious movement towards entrepreneurial ventures. This background lends itself to helping small businesses put plans into action, leading efforts across a range of constituents, and focusing on the highest priority items. Currently, I am employing with turnaround businesses and growing, sales-driven businesses in need of structure.

Matthew Markee’s Specialties:

General management of small to medium-sized business, taking ideas from concept to operations, bridging between business and technical / analytical challenges (I'm one of "those engineers with a MBA"), writing business plans, renewable energy and environmental issues
