Matt Cohen

Matt is Provable Labs' Chief Commercial Officer. Much to the confusion of his colleagues, Matt wears button-down shirts, a vestige from his 14-year Wall Street career during which he was senior institutional trader and portfolio manager on both the buy and sell-side, working at several Wall Street firms, including Merrill Lynch, Jefferies, and Nomura. Matt's responsibilities ranged from sales, senior equities trader, options market maker, to senior risk and desk manager. His areas of expertise are in the funding and financing markets, structured financing, listed and OTC options, and various arbitrage strategies. Throughout his career, Matt has always taken a keen interest in market structure, seeking to understand the pipes and plumbing that support the global markets, and looking for innovative ways to implement work flows to increase efficiency and productivity.

Since his introduction to the company's advanced cryptographic techniques, Matt has been known to stop in his tracks on any given sidewalk pondering use cases to create more efficient, secure, and fair market practices.

Matt was on Villanova's Lacrosse team for 4 years while majoring in Finance and International Business. These days he can be found on the golf course, where he continues to set new records for time spent practicing relative to his handicap, and accumulating non-contact sport injuries. Off the course, Matt enjoys spending time with friends and family. And food. Matt nurtures dreams of one day becoming a Master Bladesmith.
