About Matt Browner-Hamlin
There are two common threads across my career: working for organizations that believe in the role of people-power in their theories of change and building movement technology and data solutions to increase organizational impact. My ability to sit at the table with programmatic and fundraising leadership, and just as easily with technology and data experts, and to translate between them, has been my unique contribution to the movements of which I’ve been a part.
I was an early innovator in digital communications fields like email, blogging, video, social media and advertising across two US Senate races and one presidential campaign. From there, I helped build the digital department at the Service Employees International Union, bringing digital practices to labor organizing and advocacy campaigns. I founded a housing justice organizing platform and led digital marketing at a renewable energy startup before joining Greenpeace International in 2015.
I held a range of positions over eleven years at Greenpeace International, including Director of Strategy, Systems and Insights and interim Chief Technology Officer. I also served as National Campaigns Director at Greenpeace USA. Across the Greenpeace network, I led strategy, technology, and data initiatives spanning 25 national and regional organizations operating in over 50 countries - building shared infrastructure and services, and consensus-based alignment, in highly diverse cultural and governance contexts. Along the way, I grew a globally distributed team from 8 to 48 people, including numerous product and service teams operating asynchronously across time zones.
Most consultants bring expertise in technology, or data, or programmatic strategy. I've spent my career building movement technology solutions that meet all three needs at once: detailed organizational theories of change alongside technology platforms and data product teams, complex governance solutions alongside leadership in dynamic, fast-moving coalitions. I think in terms of purpose and impact over the long haul, not shortcuts or disposable solutions.
I founded Mossridge Strategies to bring this same integrated, long-horizon approach to a broader range of nonprofits, campaigns, and mission-driven organizations. My goal is to help your organization build strategy that is ambitious, technology that is durable, and teams that can execute both.
