From an early age, Matthew displayed a sharp acumen for recognizing opportunities and an unwavering drive to succeed. His entrepreneurial instincts were apparent during his youth, and he was constantly eager to convert his innovative thoughts into profitable ventures. He grew up immersed in real estate, learning from his father, who ran a modest investment business. This early exposure to business operations laid the foundational skills he would later use in his ventures.

Throughout his adolescence, Matthew frequently accompanied his father on various business projects, absorbing valuable lessons that would later influence his entrepreneurial path. He pursued a degree in Real Estate Development at the University of Arizona, driven by his passion for the industry and a desire to enhance his knowledge.

After college, Matthew interned at Michaels Cartage, a once-prominent logistics firm, where he gained crucial insights into warehouse operations and logistics. This role was pivotal in developing his expertise in logistics, a sector he would eventually revolutionize.

Subsequently, he assumed a Sales and Operations Manager role at HerzMat Realty. There, he managed the firm’s daily operations and spearheaded the sales team, showcasing his leadership capabilities and comprehensive understanding of the real estate market, which further solidified his entrepreneurial aspirations.

In 2021, armed with a wealthy real estate and logistics background and a clear entrepreneurial vision, he launched MVE IT Logistics alongside his older brother. This company quickly carved out a niche in logistics and supply chain management. He meticulously outlined a business strategy, garnered the necessary capital, and recruited a team that shared his vision for excellence and innovation.

The road to establishing MVE IT Logistics was strewn with challenges, from stiff competition to securing vital partnerships. His resilience, adaptability, and strategic problem-solving were critical in navigating these initial obstacles.

Today, under Matthew’s leadership, MVE IT Logistics has earned a stellar reputation in the industry for its innovative approaches and superior customer service. Under his guidance, the company has made significant strides.

Matthew’s passion for golf continues to be a significant part of his life. He plays rounds with his father and uses the sport to sharpen his strategic thinking and patience, greatly benefiting his business strategies.

Beyond his entrepreneurial and golfing endeavors, Matthew prioritizes maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He believes in the importance of physical fitness and mental well-being in managing the demands of his career. His adventurous nature is also expressed through his love for water sports, such as wakeboarding and kayaking, which provide a refreshing counterbalance to his professional responsibilities.

Matthew Herzberger exemplifies the fusion of professional diligence and personal passion. He has guided his company to new heights while maintaining a fulfilling personal life.

Thomas Ploch

I am Thomas, and I design systems for people and computers for fun and profit!

My career has navigated me through various industries like Finance & Insurance, Medical, Automotive and Travel. I have been wearing many differently shaped hats over the last 15 years. From System Administration, Test Automation, Web Development, Software Architecture & Design, Product Design & Organisation Design, I can draw on a bit of experience that currently helps me every day as a Principal Solutions Architect FlixBus.

The biggest realization over the last few years is that the most important component of success is not running the latest distributed architecture in the cloud, but to enable people to work smart to manifest their ideas in helpful products. I want to share my experiences and hope that you can take away a bit of knowledge that can help you later.

It is impossible to design useful software without understanding the underlying forces driven by market conditions, competitors, business strategy and the actual people using or building the software. Hence, I firmly believe that a wider definition of system design is required to achieve an adaptive and evolvable environment of people, processes and technology that can react to changing conditions in our fast paced digital world.
