Matt Herring

Matt began his career as an EIT-certified early-career Engineer, designing and implementing multi-facility large-scale multi-million-dollar energy savings performance contracts as part of Honeywell’s engineering development program. After nearly three years in boiler rooms, central plants and wastewater treatment plants, he was recruited and promoted into a sales role within the energy business and for 5 years worked leading teams of Engineers and Project Managers delivering contracts, supporting customers and growing his territory from 1 to 4 states, ultimately owning Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. To accelerate his leadership opportunities, Matt returned to school full-time to pursue his MBA. Upon graduating from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with a double major in Finance and Entrepreneurship, he was recruited and hired to work as part of a small team of internal management consultants advising senior executives and business leaders at 3M in all areas of corporate strategy from business development to strategic planning. Most recently, Matt has worked in private equity operations with a CEO and successful searcher from NGP’s portfolio to learn and build out his own Search Fund strategy.
