Summary
Matt Golden is an entrepreneur and policy-driven energy strategist with nearly two decades building market-ready solutions that scale energy efficiency, electrification, and demand flexibility. As founder and former CEO of Recurve and current leader in roles at National Grid Partners, Conduct Energy, and Pandotic, he bridges startups, utilities, and capital markets to turn efficiency into a procurable resource. He created widely adopted open-source tools and methods (OpenEEMeter, CalTRACK) now housed at the Linux Foundation, and led the Investor Confidence Project to standardize underwriting for efficiency investments. Matt’s career spans hands-on contracting and product-building—having audited and retrofitted thousands of homes—to convening global certification systems deployed across multiple US states and EU countries. A frequent speaker and Congressional witness, he pairs technical fluency with policy influence and a practical contractor’s perspective that helps translate complex programs into investable assets.
