Matt Havens

Matt Havens is an international keynote speaker, former corporate leader, son of a comedian, and firm believer we over complicate work by overthinking the solutions. His high-energy, engaging presentations deliver insightful, actionable strategies – all with a surprisingly entertaining twist. With 14 years of leadership experience in finance, sales, and customer service at a multi-billion dollar company, Havens gained invaluable in-the-trenches experience that informs his approach to solving business challenges and ensures his message relates with his audiences. Whether tackling change management or building dynamic team cultures, Havens has done it firsthand – including leading a massive strategic overhaul which transformed one of America’s most iconic brands. Those experiences also taught Havens something was missing in the working world. As the son of a headlining comedian, Havens grew up in the back room of comedy clubs around the world, where he witnessed the infectious impact of laughter. He believes business growth and fun don’t have to be mutually exclusive – a philosophy which has made him a trusted partner for organizations like RE/MAX, Lockheed Martin, Baker Tilly, and Allstate, as well as countless government and industry associations from nearly every trade. Havens doesn’t just speak about personal and professional growth – he lives it. He recently checked off a major bucket list item by completing an Ironman triathlon, cheered on by his wife and twin daughters.
