Future Directors Podcast #45
Matt Boyd, creator of positive impacts + CEO of Vollie
This week on the Future Directors podcast, Paul interviews Matt Boyd, co-founder and CEO of the fast-growing remote volunteering platform, Vollie. Since its creation just a few years ago, Vollie has helped connect over 2,000 skilled volunteers to cause-related projects within the NFP and social enterprise sectors. Over 90,000 hours of volunteering which have created $2 million in savings.
Vollie is a remarkable platform, and Matt is equally remarkable. Not just a CEO of his own company, Matt is also a board director for several organisations and institutions, a mentor to young social entrepreneurs, and public speaker in the social impact space. It was a pleasure to chat with him on the show.
