Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Mcnaughton is a seasoned leader who blends technology, design, and civic engagement to build inclusive digital public infrastructure across developing countries. With 15+ years of experience at organizations like UNICEF and the World Bank, he has scaled digital messaging ecosystems to hundreds of millions of messages and led award-winning open government and citizen feedback programs. As Director for Inclusion, Safety & Civil Society Engagement at Co-Develop and Principal of SlashRoots Foundation, he designs governance and participation strategies that center rights, usability, and local capacity. He has a track record of turning technical pilots into institutional services—such as national vaccine scheduling in Jamaica—and shaping policy through coalition-building and design artifacts. A Harvard MPA and former software lead, he combines hands-on product management, human-centered research, and government engagement to bridge technical systems and public interest outcomes. Less obvious: he routinely translates ethnographic insights into reusable design patterns and archetype libraries that influence legislation and civic understanding.
