Matt Sullivan has been an editor at The New York Times, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Esquire and Bleacher Report. His work in sports, celebrity and investigative journalism has been honored more than a dozen times by The Best American Sports Writing, the National Magazine Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Awards. A native New Yorker and graduate of Duke University, Matt lives with his wife, their daughter and their French Bulldog. His debut book is "Can't Knock the Hustle" (Dey Street Books / HarperCollins, June 2021), a behind-the-scenes account from the epicenter of sports, social justice and coronavirus — a lasting chronicle of the historic 2019-2020 NBA season, by way of the Brooklyn Nets and basketball’s renaissance as a cultural force beyond the game.

At The New York Times, Matt drove original content-based subscription strategy and product development as a founding daily lead on the breakthrough apps NYT Opinion and NYT Now. He ran all US opinion and then news at The Guardian, where he spearheaded 24-hour mobile election coverage and led the award-winning teams behind a database and interactive documentary series on every police killing in America as well as an investigation into torture by the Chicago police. At Bleacher Report, Matt was the founding editor of B/R Mag, which has been honored 11 times by the Associated Press Sports Editors contest, and 10 times by The Best American Sports Writing anthology for stories he edited and produced over three years. He then developed dozens of video- and social-based franchises with star athletes, including B/REAL — a thought-leadership series created in partnership with Carmelo Anthony, which won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Sports Reporting in both 2019 and 2020.
