About Me

I’m Matthew Kalesanwo

I’m Matthew Kalesanwo—Vice President of Revenue Growth and Business Development, strategic builder, and human-centered leader. My career has spanned continents and industries, but one principle guides it all: growth rooted in trust.

With over $500M in revenue influenced and $10M in losses reversed, I’ve led global teams, built partnerships from the ground up, and turned complex challenges into clear, actionable wins. But numbers alone don’t define me. I believe in the power of emotional intelligence, follow-through, and the kind of leadership that listens before it leads.

I advocate for people—whether it’s contractors seeking opportunity, clients navigating change, or my own family building a future. My approach blends data with empathy, strategy with sincerity, and ambition with accountability.

Now, as I build MatthewKalesanwo.com, I’m not just showcasing my work—I’m sharing my story. A story of resilience, responsibility, and relentless hope. Whether you’re here to collaborate, connect, or simply learn more, I’m grateful you’ve arrived.

Let’s build something meaningful—together.
