Matthew spent three decades running technology for businesses where a mistake lands on a real person’s worst week. More than twenty‑five of those years were at SIRVA Worldwide Relocation & Moving, most recently as Senior Vice President of Client Technologies & IT Operations, where he owned commercial technology strategy, customer platforms and data security practice for a $1.5 billion global organization, leading teams across the US, Europe, Australia and Asia.
That work is where the thesis for QuietField came from. Moving a family across the world is a business built entirely on trust, and he watched what happens to that trust when a system overstates what it knows. In 2014 he was named Crain’s Cleveland Business CIO of the Year for the practice he built around it.
Technology should earn trust, not just deliver features. The fastest way to lose it is to answer a question more confidently than you actually can.
Matthew B. Dickerson, Founder & CEO
He founded QuietField to apply that standard to consumer software — building on what the phone already in your pocket can do, in a category where the incumbent move is to sell certainty about the physical world that no phone can deliver. He has spent much of his career translating hard technical problems into plain language, through published articles, conference keynotes and adjunct teaching.
He is also the only member of the org chart who needs sleep, which the Build Team considers a scheduling defect.
