Top SchoolMatt Riley is a founder and commercially savvy technologist with 11 years of senior IT leadership experience and a track record of building high-performing engineering organisations from start-ups to FTSE-scale businesses. He combines hands-on development skills (noted for early engineering of MoneySupermarket.com) with board-level strategy, delivering customer-facing platforms, bespoke CRM and automation that repeatedly cut costs and cycle times. Matt has driven major digital and operational transformations across fintech, e-commerce, insurance and automotive sectors—scaling teams, obtaining ISO 27001 readiness, and launching OCR and CCaaS solutions. He currently runs Squidd, a boutique digital agency focused on Laravel, Shopify/BigCommerce and complex data systems, and is known for turning technical teams toward commercial outcomes.
