Hey, I’m Matt Vaillant. I’m the COO at SYNQ, where we build software that helps retailers grow sales, improve customer experience, optimize labor, and reduce shrink. I love working at the intersection of tech and business, leading teams that bring innovative solutions to market and make a real impact on the bottom line.
My background is in operations and business development, and over the years, I’ve helped companies scale by bridging strategy with execution. At SYNQ, I’ve played a key role in growing the brand and positioning us as a leader in retail innovation—most recently with a major presence at NRF alongside Microsoft, IBM, and Samsung.
Outside of work, I’m big on mountain biking, hiking, fishing, cooking, and podcasts. I also love talking tech, baseball, and politics, especially where they intersect with leadership and innovation. I believe in building teams that thrive—fostering a culture of collaboration, high achievement, and fun.
Always happy to connect—whether it’s about retail tech, leadership, or growing a business. Let’s chat!
