Matthew Sekol

Matthew Sekol has been listed in Onalytica's "Who's Who in ESG" as one of the top influencers to follow. As a self-proclaimed benevolent troublemaker, he regularly digs into the nuance and uncertainty around ESG, stirs up the issues with questions, and brings accessible answers to his customers and partners. He draws on his Liberal Arts background and years of nuanced conversations, complex use cases, and real-world industry examples to thrive in the wilderness of ambiguous topics. Matthew sees potential in ESG to solve a company's most challenging issues, forging a path to long-term resilience so the company can save the world. In his first book, ESG Mindset, Matthew shifts perspectives on ESG towards companies and away from financial services by delivering accessible concepts that have benefits from the boardroom to individual contributors. Outside of his work on the commercial side of sustainability at Microsoft, Matthew enjoys continually learning, reading fiction, running, spending time with his family, and building new creations out of colorful little plastic bricks.
