In this Mind the Chat Marco Marinucci sits down with Louis Matthews, GM & Project Lead at BCG Digital Ventures, Boston Consulting Group’s digital innovation, business build and venture capital group.
Louis leads cross-disciplinary teams to launch a series of stand-alone ventures and new business units across energy, financial services, TMT and insurance. He works hand-in-hand with multiple corporates to identify and build on strategic investment areas (startups / new business concepts, emerging technologies) including for a Scandinavian based telco and a U.S. based tech conglomerate. Most recently, Louis led the strategy and go-to-market to launch an at-scale fintech solution for the underbanked population in Mexico. Prior to BCG Digital Ventures, Louis managed the smart home, IoT and strategic partnership initiatives at Farmers Insurance, one of America’s largest P&C insurance firms.
In this Mind the Chat we talk about BCG Digital Ventures and its process of venture formation, engagement with the corporate clients, and staffing. Finally, we will investigate how to measure success and report some success stories.
