Matthew McLaughlin Matthew-McLaughlin

Matthew McLaughlin is a dedicated sales professional with over 16 years of experience in the SaaS, cloud, and AI industries. Born on March 23, 1982, in Manassas, Virginia, he developed a passion for technology and innovation that shaped his career. After high school, he pursued his academic goals at Northern Virginia Community College, earning an Associate’s in Science in 2003. This educational foundation propelled him into a career of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership excellence.

Matthew began his professional journey at a company focused on Google Cloud solutions, where he was among the first employees. As a Google Apps Technical & Implementation Specialist, he seamlessly merged technical proficiency with problem-solving abilities to help businesses transition to cloud-based platforms. His contributions ensured the smooth adoption of these solutions, positioning him as a trusted resource for clients navigating complex technological changes. His early achievements set the tone for a career of innovation and adaptability.

In 2009, McLaughlin advanced to a Google Apps Change Management & Training Specialist role, further honing his skills in client engagement. In this position, he worked closely with organizations to design and deliver training programs that empowered teams to maximize the value of Google’s tools. His ability to simplify complex technical concepts into actionable insights earned widespread acclaim. This role also allowed him to work with diverse clients, including high-profile names like Netflix, Franklin Covey, and the City of Los Angeles. These experiences deepened his understanding of unique client needs and strengthened his ability to deliver customized solutions.

In 2014, Matthew transitioned into sales as a Google Cloud Account Manager, combining his technical background with a focus on business development. This move enabled him to cultivate strong client relationships while driving measurable growth for the company. Over the next three years, his contributions were instrumental in expanding the client base, securing major accounts, and achieving significant revenue increases. His outstanding performance promoted him to Vice President of Sales in 2018. In this leadership role, he guided a team of 15 professionals, fostering collaboration and innovation to achieve a 77% increase in customer acquisition within a year.

As Vice President of Sales, McLaughlin prioritized building long-term client relationships and implementing forward-thinking strategies. By focusing on delivering value, he strengthened partnerships with major clients such as Etsy, DocuSign, and HubSpot. His leadership drove revenue growth and enhanced the company’s reputation as a premier Google Cloud partner. His strategic approach to sales and ability to align organizational goals with client needs became defining aspects of his tenure.

In 2020, Matthew transitioned to Senior Google Cloud Account Executive, where he concentrated on high-value, strategic deals. One of his most significant accomplishments during this period was securing a $33 million five-year contract renewal with Compass Real Estate, the largest deal in company history. This achievement showcased his expertise in negotiation, meticulous planning, and understanding of client requirements. Between 2020 and 2024, his contributions resulted in a 57% increase in overall company revenue, solidifying his status as a top performer in the industry.

Outside of his professional achievements, McLaughlin remains deeply committed to his community. As a former Manassas Host Lions Club member, he held leadership roles as Vice President. He participated in initiatives like city cleanups, sight and hearing checks, and fundraising events. After relocating to Raleigh, North Carolina, he began volunteering at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, sorting and packing food to support needy families. His dedication to community service reflects his values and commitment to positively impacting the community.

Matthew is also a devoted father of four, prioritizing quality time with his children. Whether playing hide-and-seek, reading bedtime stories, or riding bikes on the Raleigh Greenway, he cherishes his role as a parent. He also enjoys outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, cycling, and fishing, which provide relaxation and adventure. Music is another passion, and he attends concerts whenever possible. Currently learning to play the guitar, he draws inspiration from artists like The Grateful Dead, John Mayer, and Bonnie Raitt.

McLaughlin's love for travel has taken him to destinations such as Paris, Amsterdam, Mexico, and various Caribbean islands. Domestically, he enjoys combining business trips with leisure, often traveling to California. Cooking is another favorite pastime, and he frequently experiments with new recipes, involving his children in the process.

Matthew McLaughlin’s life and career are a testament to his dedication, innovation, and commitment to excellence. His accomplishments in the SaaS, cloud, and AI industries and his focus on family and community define him as a well-rounded individual who continues to make meaningful contributions in every aspect of his life.
