Matt Barron
Senior Enterprise Client Executive, Houston
My name is Matt Barron and I grew up in the oil patch in west Texas. I went to school at SMU in Dallas, which was a quite the culture shock from the slow-paced, small-town feel that I was accustomed to. I loved every second of it! I earned both MIS and Math degrees and proceeded to work for several large industrial conglomerates in Texas. Over my career I have progressed from back-office support functions to customer-facing commercial roles because I simply enjoy helping customers solve their most pressing issues, developing relationships and getting things done. I’ve lived in Houston for about 5 years with my wife, three kids (all boys!), a dog and a cat. I love living in Houston: the diversity is amazing, there’s an endless selection of cuisine, and incredible economic opportunity. Outside of the office, I enjoy kicking the soccer ball with my kiddos and fishing in the neighborhood bayous. As a Sr. Enterprise Client Executive, I look forward to helping the Houston team grow by expanding our presence in existing accounts and opening horizons with new accounts. I am ecstatic to join the Neudesic family and anticipate many shared successes for years to come!

What is your favorite weekend trip?
Ah, this is a tough one. I’d have to say Vancouver, Canada. I’ve never seen a place so beautiful in my life. I’ve traveled quite a bit and I have yet to experience a place that is so breathtaking as you are driving into the greater city area. Water, city, mountains all in close proximity of each other…nearly has it all!
Sharing our core values is very important to us. What does Passion, Discipline, Innovation, Teaming and Integrity mean to you?
Passion – To me, passion means feeling alive and energized. Without passion you are just going through the motions and not growing. Passion transforms routine into uniqueness. Discipline – To me, discipline means dedication. It means that you acknowledge that there are prerequisites for any goal. You accept those prerequisites and know that if you stick to your action plan, the probability of the desired outcome increases with each milestone. Discipline requires focus and a hardened effort to eliminate distractions. Innovation – To me, innovation means creating the new and is rarely possible without hard work, persistence and help from others. Innovation challenges the norm, is exciting, and sometimes unexpected. Innovation requires a questioning, inquisitive mindset with the thought of “How can we do this better?”. Teaming – To me, teaming means knowing yourself and subsequently leveraging the skills of others to pull towards a common goal. One must acknowledge their weaknesses, learn other’s strengths and be humble enough to ask for help from others! Integrity – To me, integrity is doing the right thing no matter what. Remove all circumstances, pressure, and influence and do what is right…always.
