Matt Elliott is a board director, advisor, and author who equips Chief Executive Officers, leadership teams, and boards to win in the always-on AI era.
His forthcoming book, “Overloaded: Recapturing Leadership Capacity with the Power of &™,” demonstrates that capacity — not strategy or effort alone — is the defining leadership challenge of our time. Through consulting, workshops, and keynotes, Elliott’s Power of & philosophy challenges the binary trap leaders fall into under pressure, and highlights the transformative shift from either/or to “and.” The Companion & Intelligence™ framework arms senior leaders with a practical operating system for making better decisions under sustained load. Both research-backed concepts are grounded in Elliott’s 35 years of experience leading at scale inside complex, high-pressure systems. He has managed billion-dollar balance sheets, advised hundreds of Chief Executive Officers, and served as President of Bank of America Michigan.
Elliott chaired the 2023 Mackinac Policy Conference and the Detroit Regional Chamber Board in 2024. A graduate of Michigan State University and the University of Chicago, he serves on several non-profit and corporate boards.
