He contributes to the delivery and continued development of TII’s training and advisory services, helping clients uncover critical information across languages, jurisdictions, and complex corporate environments.
Matt has extensive experience conducting sophisticated open-source investigations for government, academic, humanitarian, and international organizations. His work spans research security, enhanced due diligence, sanctions compliance, foreign interference, and geopolitical risk. He has examined beneficial ownership structures, state-linked entities, international supply chains, shell companies, front organizations, and transnational influence networks using publicly available information from sources around the world.
His experience in research security and institutional due diligence has helped organizations assess international partnerships, identify foreign-interference risks, and navigate sanctions-related exposure. Matt has also contributed to significant investigations involving the Wagner Group, Russian supply chains, and other geopolitical issues, producing research used by humanitarian organizations, allied governments, and international partners.
Matt conducts investigations using sources in Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Farsi, French, and Hindi. This multilingual capability enables him to identify and interpret information that is frequently inaccessible through English-language research alone, providing clients with deeper insight into individuals, organizations, and networks operating across international boundaries.
At TII, Matt works with clients in law enforcement, government, intelligence, and the private sector to strengthen their ability to discover, verify, and interpret complex information. His expertise expands TII’s international investigative reach and supports the company’s capacity to deliver scalable, high-value intelligence, training, and risk-advisory services. As global threats increasingly exploit opaque ownership structures and fragmented information environments, Matt helps organizations reveal hidden relationships, assess exposure, and make better-informed decisions.
