He is the Founder and CEO of Ekpyrosis, a relationship-driven special situations investment firm based in New York. Ekpyrosis independently capitalizes each investment, allowing for bespoke transaction structures and value-creation strategies.

Matt added, “The independent sponsor and private equity landscape continue to evolve with limited partners demanding more aligned structures and incentives. This evolution has created a unique opportunity for non-institutional investment firms to secure capital and assets at a rate that was unheard of just 5 or 10 years ago. Cullen and Dykman has leaned into this rapidly growing corner of the market, becoming a leading partner to independent sponsors in deal execution and capital formation.”
