Summary
Matt Curry is a product leader and founder with 11 years of experience turning complex technical and business challenges into intuitive products that improve how people work. As Head of Product at Avvir he scaled a single pre-revenue team into five product teams, recruited and mentored PMs and designers, and helped guide the company through acquisition. He combines hands-on product strategy, customer discovery, and go-to-market experience with a background in Lean, Agile, and user-centered design from roles at Pivotal and consulting engagements that impacted dozens of product teams. Based in New York, he now splits his time between co-founding FTW PAC and shaping product at Mechanical Orchard, bringing both startup grit and organizational coaching to bear. With an academic mix of philosophy, neuroscience, economics, and literature, he brings an unusually cross-disciplinary approach to problem framing and user empathy. Colleagues describe him as an experiment-driven leader who prioritizes collaboration, continuous improvement, and outcomes over feature delivery.
