ROBERT (MATT) MATSON, Promoted to Senior Vice President, Business Development & Marketing | Regional Market Executive

April 7, 2022 by Amanda Hoffman

Congrats to CARW Member Matt Matson on his leadership role with STRANG.

STRANG, Inc. Announces Leadership Team for Waukesha Office

Genuine Servant Leadership Bolsters Clients and Colleagues, Alike

WAUKESHA, WI. March 21, 2022 – – – Established in 1935, Strang is an award-winning architecture, engineering, interior design, and master planning firm with offices in Waukesha and Madison, Wisconsin with clients throughout the US.

We champion a highly collaborative, vertically integrated approach entitled, Design Synchronicity. This proven, proprietary protocol galvanizes our ability to safeguard a client’s financial, human, and environmental resources. We apply this approach within the science and technology, commercial/corporate, higher education, performing arts, and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Today we are proud to announce the formalization of our new leadership team in Waukesha.

According to Larry Barton, Strang’s President, and CEO, “Each of these gentlemen are shareholders within the firm and collectively bring decades of successful business acumen, architectural and engineering experiences to the Waukesha office. Together, they have spearheaded our growth in Waukesha from modest beginnings of 4 staffers to today, with a newly expanded office to support 22 colleagues and growing. I could not be prouder of the entire Waukesha team.”

Our new Southeast Wisconsin regional market executives are:

Matt brings a rich history of leadership, team building and business operations, including an MBA from Indiana University, to his new role. He is an expert in business development, M&A, budgeting and P/L, strategic marketing planning, and multimedia administration.
