Summary
Matthew Patience is a technology leader and co-founder with 14 years of experience building mobile-first products, teams, and innovation labs. He moved from music education into mobile entrepreneurship, founding Mobicartel and later helping scale BNOTIONS’ mobile practice where he shipped 60+ apps and rose to VP of Mobile. Known for leadership through execution, he creates repeatable engineering processes—CI/nightly builds, static analysis, and metrics dashboards—that improved velocity and predictability. At Kinetic Commerce he bridged physical and digital retail using BLE, RFID, object tracking and indoor positioning to prototype hardware-software experiences and win new business. Now CTO and co-founder at Phil, he continues to blend hands-on development, product strategy, and customer-facing demos to commercialize experiential retail tech. An unexpected strength is his creative background in music, which informs his user-centric approach to interactive systems and presentation.
