About Daniel
I’m Daniel Matthews—Founder of Matthews Operations Co. I’ve spent 25 years leading operations across construction, manufacturing, and SaaS environments. As the former Strategy & Optimization Leader at a $2B contractor, I developed systems that improved efficiency, reduced rework, and saved millions.
I hold an Executive MBA from the University of Utah and a background in civil and structural engineering. My approach blends Lean Six Sigma, practical systems thinking, and a people-first mindset. If your business needs more structure, clarity, and accountability—I’m here to help.
