Top SchoolMatt Marx is a scholar-practitioner who bridges entrepreneurship, management research, and hands-on tech experience gained as an engineer and executive in speech-recognition startups. As Faculty Director of Entrepreneurship at Cornell and the Bruce F. Failing, Sr. Chair, he studies how to reduce barriers to commercializing science, producing influential multidisciplinary research cited in top journals and covered widely in major media. His empirical work on non-compete agreements and job mobility directly informed policy reforms in multiple states, and he curates large open datasets for the Innovation Information Initiative that have been widely reused by researchers. Combining a Symbolic Systems BS from Stanford, graduate degrees from the MIT Media Lab and Harvard Business School, and roles at MIT Sloan and NBER, he pairs rigorous methods with practical startup fluency. Colleagues describe him as a data-driven policy influencer who regularly turns complex scholarly insights into tools and resources for practitioners.
