Originally conceived as a communications network for humanity during a crisis, Cloudflare has come a long way since then. But in this moment, it’s being put to use for that original purpose. Around the world thousands of network engineers, technicians, and system administrators are working tirelessly to keep this system functioning for the rest of us. They’re grappling with greater network demands, a rapid acceleration in remote work, and a growing risk of cyber threats.

Matthew is co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare [NYSE: NET]. Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world's largest networks, which spans more than 200 cities in 95 countries.

Matthew is a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, winner of the 2011 Tech Fellow Award, and serves on the Board of Advisors for the Center for Information Technology and Privacy Law.

Matthew holds an MBA from Harvard Business School where he was a George F. Baker Scholar and awarded the Dubilier Prize for Entrepreneurship. He is a member of the Illinois Bar, and earned his J.D. from the University of Chicago and B.A. in English Literature and Computer Science from Trinity College. He’s also the co-creator of Project Honey Pot, the largest community of webmasters tracking online fraud and abuse.
