Matthew Kropp

I lead AI strategy and implementation at BCG X, where a team of 3,000+ engineers and data scientists builds real AI solutions for Fortune 500 companies. I started my career founding digital companies at the dawn of the internet, including Velodea, which I raised $4.5M in European VC to build. That early operator experience shapes how I think about AI today: strategy only counts if something actually ships. I'm a Wharton MBA and UCLA Aerospace Engineering grad, which is a combination that comes in handy more than you'd think. Ask me about generative AI strategy for large enterprises, building AI products that drive business impact, and lessons from founding companies in two tech waves.
