In this episode of the Break Free Podcast, David Mansilla interviews Matt Clark, President and CEO of Core Centric, a global leader in Procurement, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable solutions. Matt shares his incredible 20+ year journey rising from an early role to the top leadership position at the financial technology company.
Key Takeaways You'll Learn:
(1) Removing Friction in B2B: How Core Centric's founding mission was to streamline and digitize processes in the B2B space, starting with the truck transportation sector.
(2) The Path to CEO: The single, high-stakes project that served as the catalyst for Matt's promotion by demonstrating his ability to "execute at a high level".
(3) Fighting Bureaucracy: Why Matt's first goal as CEO was to balance Core Centric's organizational structure by pulling back from a "bureaucratic culture" to maintain agility.
(4) Crisis is Opportunity: How the company used macro cycles—like the 2008 recession and COVID-19—to focus on self-improvement, positioning them to "thrive, not just survive," as the market recovered.
(5) The Guiding Principle: Matt's ultimate core value: why simply "doing the right thing" is often the hardest, but most crucial, business and personal decision.
