Matthew B. Boyd

I am the Chief Commercial Officer of Boyd Technologies, Producer of the documentary film Project Frontline, and co-host of Boyd Biomedical Design Stories. I spend my time working with our team and our clients to design, build, and launch innovative, life-saving technologies. I am deeply passionate about biomedical innovation and entrepreneurship. I work each day to support the development and commercial scale-up of these products and companies. I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to work with our clients and to lead these efforts for our team. I love skiing, playing tennis, cooking, listening to music, and reading, but most of all spending time with my wife and identical twin daughters. I’m energized by entrepreneurship and stay actively involved as an Alumni of Babson College’s Graduate School of Business where I serve as a mentor for the Institute for Family Entrepreneurship. I am also a mentor and serve on the Steering Committee of MassMedic’s Ignite Accelerator Program.
