About Matt Kossoff

Matt Kossoff is an award-winning founder and seasoned product strategist known for launching and scaling high-margin consumer brands. As the former CEO and Chief Product Officer of several standout companies in the automotive aftermarket, he led them through aggressive growth and record-breaking exits - all in the pre-AI era, when scaling required pure instinct, hands-on execution, and analog grit.

Now, he’s bringing that same founder DNA into the AI-driven age with Milton Coffee Co., a premium hardware startup producing ultra high-end, Nespresso-compatible machines designed to outperform anything on the market. With a full stainless brew path, third-party pod optimization, and a striking visual identity, Milton is already building buzz with tastemakers and luxury hospitality groups.

Matt offers rare insight into what’s changed (and what hasn’t) in product development, brand building, and go-to-market strategy in a world that’s been reshaped by AI. He speaks from experience, not theory, about what it takes to bootstrap, build, exit, and start again.

Ideal guest for shows on entrepreneurship, consumer product growth, premium DTC, AI-era brand strategy, and rethinking old categories with fresh thinking.
