Matt leverages over 15 years of experience specializing in anti-illicit trade work, employee wrongdoing inquiries, and online abuse and other digital investigations, including use of tools, open-source intelligence and human intelligence sources. He has also used innovative investigative techniques on a range of matters, which include identifying smuggling networks, unmasking online bad actors and investigating leaks of confidential information.
Prior to joining Kroll, Matt served as a senior manager with an investigations company, focusing on anti-counterfeiting, grey market monitoring and analytics, and the training of law enforcement on a worldwide basis.
For several years, Matt co-managed a team working on a pan-European project to disrupt illicit trade of chemical products, through a combination of technology, controlled buyer interactions and site visits, and close working relationships with law enforcement. Due to his interest in developing innovative investigative methodologies, in one instance, crowdsourcing was used to quantify illicit trade flows of regulated products. This ultimately led to identification of the key individuals involved and the specific smuggling routes and methods used.
