Mathew Burns

Marketing & Communications Coordinator

Mathew started his career in sales and marketing, primarily focused in financial services, eventually transitioning to add learning and development skills. This combination brings a customer focused lens to skills development, so the customer promise is matched by action.

Over the past 6 years he has worked with numerous organizations to help employers recruit from more diverse populations and help students with diverse needs get the support they need when transitioning into the workforce.

He spends his free time trying to get outside, supporting his children to be conscious, empathetic and aware citizens, and pretending to train his dogs (who are not conscious citizens).
