Matthew Stitt Leader in Philadelphia July 2020

WSOU: Leadership with Darrell W. Gunter - Leadership Begins With You!

Strategic, innovative and emerging leader with experience working in for-profit, government and not-for-profit roles.
Joined PFM as a Director in the Management and Budget Consulting Practice Group — and National Lead for Equitable Recovery and Strategic Financial Initiatives — in late 2020.
Co-founded and launched PFM’s Center for Budget Equity and Innovation in 2021 (see further info. below). Formerly served as the Chief Financial Officer at City Council, Philadelphia.
My focus areas at PFM include advising public sector leaders on structural budget, long-range financial and economic planning and development reforms — with a particular focus on applying an equity lens to addressing governing challenges. I also support (manage) the strategy and growth of PFM’s Economic and Real Estate Consulting group.
I was appointed a Distinguished Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Fels Institute of Government in 2021 — where I also instruct courses for their Executive MPA Program (as an adjunct professor). I also recently completed a three-year tenure with Haverford College’s Board of Managers — serving as a Young Alumni Associate Member.
