Co-Founder, VP of Pharmacy
Matt leverages his deep experience in pharmacy operations to solve some of the most pressing operational, technological, and financial problems in healthcare. Frustrated by the outdated systems and inefficiencies he encountered as a pharmacist at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Matt partnered with MUSC network architect (and now QuicksortRx CEO) Jonathan Yantis to create a solution.
In 2018, Matt and Jonathan founded QuicksortRx, a groundbreaking platform designed to streamline pharmaceutical purchasing and uncover significant cost savings. The startup was an immediate success, generating significant cost savings at MUSC and empowering Matt and Jonathan to expand the technology and their team.
As a dedicated advocate for healthcare innovation, Matt is passionate about educating the next generation of pharmacy professionals and empowering continuous improvement in complex healthcare environments.
