Matt Sundquist is a multidisciplinary leader who blends product, data, and community-building with land stewardship, currently directing the transformation of Fly Ranch into a regenerative art and community campus. With 12 years of experience founding and scaling Plotly—where he helped grow the project to 115k GitHub stars and massive download traction—he pairs startup operator chops (COO/cofounder) with hands-on technical contributions to open-source documentation and tooling. His background spans product leadership at ventures like Change.org and Alteryx, data and engineering work for social impact at Water.org, and earlier roles at Facebook and Harvard that grounded his analytic and publishing skills. Comfortable moving between strategy and execution, he brings an uncommon mix of philosophy-trained curiosity, practical land stewardship, and technical literacy to mission-driven projects.
