Matt Browning Head of EMEA Marketing, DigiCert London · Wokingham
Partner-first · AI-native · Hands-on

I build go-to-market for technical infrastructure, outside the US.

Twenty years of it. Managed cloud, data operations, the data lakehouse, data and AI management, and now digital trust and post-quantum cryptography. Always a technical buyer. Never a line-of-business one.

Four times I've built or rebuilt marketing for a region starting from almost nothing. I'm a player-coach — I build the thing first, then hand it over.
