Matthew has a gift for cutting through complexity and communicating in a clear to understand way. This skill serves him well in his data science field and has allowed him to up-skill many people new to the field. He is highly regarded by those around him.
Matthew recently gave a brilliant presentation for our Sydney Financial Modellers' Meetup group on Project Finance. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about the topic. He is a fantastic presenter and explained things in a clear and informative way. It was truly an honour to host him.
Matthew is a data science expert and is able to convey data science topics in an understandable way to data scientists and executives alike. His understanding of transforming data into an asset allows him to advise on a strategic level.
I had the pleasure of being instructed by Matthew on advanced Excel VBA techniques. His ability to grasp complex issues and then convey them simply to others is exceptional. He comes across as humble and extremely approachable through his friendly and positive nature.
Matthew has been involved in various speaking engagements and discussions that I have hosted. He always meets our high expectations, and his presentation style is interactive, engaging and thorough.
Matthew Bernath is one of the best event hosts we have worked with. I would highly recommend him as a speaker or host for anything to do with Microsoft Excel, financial modelling and data analytics.
