Matthew Sherman - Global Account Manager for Speak FirstMATTHEW SHERMAN - Global Account Manager
 
Matthew Sherman sees his life as a story to be written and not a script to follow. Known for his dedication to improving the lives of others; he has always been committed to serving his community as he believes it’s his responsibility as a citizen of the world. Over the past few years Matthew has volunteered in many different capacities:  assisting the elderly at a retirement home, teaching English to local immigrants, and helping children in the community realize their potential and build their futures. Prior to joining Speak First he worked in the financial services industry for over 10 years educating individuals, families, and businesses about the importance of saving for the future. Outside of work Matthew enjoys globetrotting and experiencing many different cultures. Through these adventures he has learned that if you don’t like the world you are living in, then you need to create one in which you do.
