Presenter - Matt Meltzer
Founder & CEO, Sage Corps
In May 2003, Matt graduated summa cum laude from Penn with a double major, and no job. After traveling throughout South America for four months, Matt found work teaching English to corporate executives and interned at a local newspaper in Buenos Aires. His experience abroad changed Matt’s career trajectory, and his life. Later that year, Matt started law school at Northwestern University as a fluent Spanish-speaker and went on to develop a niche litigation practice representing Latin American companies as a Partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
In 2013, still thinking back to his global experience after college, Matt founded Sage Corps, a global entrepreneurship program that sends top college students abroad to intern with startups. When he isn’t working with students and global startups, Matt spends his time chasing his three kids with his incredibly patient and loving wife.
