Bio
Dr. Matt Kersey is a leadership coach, trainer and speaker who specializes in:
1) Coaching technical people who wish to excel in leadership roles,
2) Coaching teams and groups towards key goals, and
3) Training accomplished professionals to be certified coaches.
Matt successfully transitioned from a bench scientist to leading cross-functional, global product development teams during his 28+ year career in the pharmaceutical industry. He often observed that technical professionals required leadership coaching and training to excel as leaders in their organizations and to address the “soft” issues that derailed product development objectives.

Matt is a co-facilitator of the NC State University Business Coaching certificate program.
