Matt Wallaert
Behavioral Scientist, Author of "Start At The End: How to Build Products that Create Change"
For almost 20 years, Matt Wallaert has been applying behavioral science to practical problems. After leaving academia, his career as an executive lead from startups to the Fortune 500 and back again, before joining frog (a Capgemini company) as the Head of Behavioral Science, where he focuses on helping organizations build their own applied behavioral science capabilities while building projects with the frog team.
In his book "Start At The End" and other writings, as well as hundreds of talks from the UN to SXSW, Wallaert details how the cycle of behavioral strategy, insights, design, and impact evaluation can help us build products and services that change behavior. From the janitor to the CEO, his approachable frameworks show how everyone can incorporate behavioral science into what they do, no PhD required.
Wallaert’s side projects consistently focus on creating greater equity in the world, like GetRaised, which has helped underpaid women ask for and earn over $3.6B in salary increases, and his research reports, like MediocreWhiteMen, blend humor and science to help work toward change.
Living (and surfing) in San Diego, Wallaert prefers cowboy boots to sneakers and Legos to blank paper. He also wears a uniform of used clothing that a script buys for him on eBay. He is a dedicated Oregonian and believes strongly that the Pacific Northwest is the best possible place to live, even when he doesn’t get to live there. He is a graduate of Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (IB) and Swarthmore College (psychology and education), spent some time in a PhD program at Cornell University (social psychology) before joining his first startup, and is coparent to Stef, father to Bear, brother to Josh, brother-in-law to Jelena, uncle to Sava and Teo, and son to Rick and Jo.
