“Hired by Matt Bendett three years ago at Electronic Arts, I served as his direct report through multiple global marketing campaigns. As a leader, Matt identifies and nurtures his employees strengths, helping them build on what they naturally do best. He also finds a great balance between serving as the campaign lead while still allowing his employees to step up and take the helm in appropriate circumstances. Ultimately, Matt builds strong, nimble teams whose strengths and weaknesses complement one another, allowing for a low friction environment even when dealing with long hours and late nights. As a marketing director Matt takes a very holistic approach to his campaigns and never fails to impress with his vast knowledge and expertise in multiple marketing disciplines and tactics. He has a knack for pulling together cross-functional teams and facilitating communication across the sometime sparring groups. Matt is a great marketer, and an even better manager. I truly enjoyed my years as his employee.”
