Mathew Knowles Biography
Meet Mathew Knowles, the global leader in sales and marketing, brand development, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
With over $5 billion generated across multiple industries, over $100 million in sales and acquisitions, and the development, recording, and distribution of some of culture's most notable careers, such as Beyoncé, Destiny's Child, Earth, Wind & Fire, Solange and many more, Knowles is widely regarded as the best in the world at what he does and is a sought-after speaker, consultant and trainer for some of the world's largest organizations and conferences.
He has led some of the most successful marketing campaigns in history, working with organizations like Pepsi, L'Oréal, Samsung, and House of Deréon Apparel to name a few.
Knowles' professional insights and expert digital content have been recognized by organizations like LinkedIn, where he's been named a "LinkedIn Top Voice," a distinction reserved for the world's foremost authorities in their fields such as Bill Gates, Arianna Huffington and Richard Branson. His expertise has also made him a highly notable advisor for dozens of organizations across a wide array of industries.
Academically, Knowles has undergraduate degrees in business administration and economics from Fisk University, an MBA and Ph.D from Cornerstone Christian Bible College, and earned Professional Development Certifications from Harvard University in Ethical Leadership and Developing Cultural Intelligence.
Additionally, Knowles is the author of five books, two of which are best sellers on Amazon, and has published a white paper at West Virginia University titled "Strategic Partnerships at Walmart." Currently holding a professorship at Pepperdine University, London College of Creative Music, Prairie View A&M, and Point Blank Music School, Knowles also serves as the Dean of the Black Music Industry Certification Program at the National Museum of African American Music. In addition, he served as a professor at Texas South University for several years.
A pioneer for Black success, Knowles' corporate journey includes top leadership roles at Xerox Medical Systems, Phillips Medical System, and Johnson & Johnson. Knowles also advocates for spreading cancer awareness to Black and underserved communities, a cause he's passionate about as a cancer survivor. In 2025, he teamed up with the national nonprofit ZERO Prostate Cancer as a global ambassador on their "Blitz the Barriers" campaign, which fights prostate cancer through outreach, public health interventions, and support services.
Whether he is developing some of the biggest brands in history, inspiring global audiences, or helping businesses and entrepreneurs achieve their goals, Knowles' unmatched talent and experience make him a true business and industry icon. He remains a transformative force, leaving an enduring legacy in both business and the arts.
