Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Todd is a Director and founder with 14 years of software experience who builds AI-native platforms that prioritize focus over frenetic speed. He leads Fluent Forward Ltd from London/Bristol, applying a disciplined framework—identify false constraints, unlock capability, then impose intentional constraints—to ship high-value legal tech and property tech products. His background spans technical and design leadership roles at Tektronix, Capita, and SunGard Public Sector, giving him a rare mix of hands-on engineering and product design empathy. An ultra-endurance athlete, he translates endurance training principles—technique before volume—into product strategy, preferring fewer decisive bets to many half-finished projects. Matthew’s approach is practical: leverage AI to accelerate execution while deliberately narrowing scope to avoid accruing technical debt. He’s focused on building tools that change how professionals work rather than building fast for its own sake.
