Matt Rucker

About

I am a Strategic Principal at Liatrio, a boutique DevOps and platform engineering consultancy. My client-facing roles range from acting as a fractional CIO or CTO, to program management, to hands-on technical leadership — wherever the engagement needs me across platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and organizational transformation.

My career spans from help desk to enterprise technical leadership across Fortune 50 and large enterprise clients. I have built and managed technology practices with $40M+ in P&L responsibility and teams of 200+ engineers. I am currently authoring and leading the implementation of a comprehensive platform engineering strategy for a Fortune 50 client.

I am a servant leader. The people I have mentored have gone on to director roles at Optum, senior positions at Cisco, and high-performing careers across the industry. My teams consistently have near-zero voluntary attrition — I would rather surround myself with people smarter than I am and invest in developing them than try to be the smartest person in the room.

Based in the Nashville area. When I am not working, I enjoy board games, cooking, and tinkering with technology.
