Summary
Matt Hartley is an AI-first, CX-driven hardware customer service leader with nearly two decades of global experience building and scaling support operations for consumer hardware, most recently leading Hardware Customer Service at OpenAI after six years shaping Pixel support at Google. He combines deep product empathy and data-driven insight to influence roadmap and operational design, having founded and grown regional teams across APAC while launching scalable help platforms and community-driven support. A Duke MBA with early consulting chops at Navigant, Matt blends quantitative problem-solving (including Monte Carlo lifecycle modeling) with hands-on Linux support experience from his work with Framework Computer. He’s known for turning customer signals into actionable product and content strategies that improve CSAT and efficiency, and for seeding support hubs from one to 25 FTEs in new markets. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he pairs strategic leadership with a practical, doer’s mindset—equally comfortable with cross-functional advocacy and troubleshooting at the OS level.
