Matthew Meza

I've built financial systems from the ground up — at Amazon-scale operations and inside mission-driven hospitals. The work looks different each time. The discipline behind it doesn't.

ABOUT

Financial Strategy Operational Leadership Revenue Cycle ERP Implementation Capital Governance Board Reporting Systems Thinking Team Development Mission-Driven Orgs Supply Chain

There's a version of finance that just keeps score. That's not what I do.

I build the financial and operational infrastructure that lets organizations focus on what they're actually here to do. That's meant different things at different stages — managing $200M in inventory through record-peak volumes at Amazon, then arriving at Kanad Hospital in Abu Dhabi in the middle of one of the most complex transformations a healthcare institution can undertake: a full ERP from scratch, a revenue cycle redesign, and six enterprise functions consolidated under one financial framework for the first time.

What's stayed consistent across both worlds is a belief that good systems make good organizations possible — and that the work of building them is worth doing carefully. I hold an MBA and Graduate Certificate in Investments from Johns Hopkins University, and I'm always thinking about the longer arc of what institutions can become when the financial foundation is right.

[ 02 ] EXPERTISE

CAPABILITIES

CAP_001

Financial Strategy

I build budgets that actually reflect reality, forecasting models that leadership trusts, and the variance governance that keeps institutions honest month to month. Zero-based, bottoms-up, board-ready.

CAP_002

Revenue Cycle

From payer contracting to claims integrity to collections reform — I've managed large-scale revenue cycle transitions, including a hybrid insourcing strategy that cleared a 50,000-claim backlog in three months.

CAP_003

ERP & Analytics

I've led two enterprise platform implementations from zero to live. The systems I build don't just store data — they surface the right information to the right people at the right time.

CAP_004

Capital Governance

Capital decisions compound. I design the frameworks that connect investment requests to ROI, depreciation cycles, and long-term strategic fit — so institutions stop spending on instinct and start spending on evidence.

CAP_005

Supply Chain & Operations

Before healthcare, Amazon. I've run operations at a scale most organizations never touch — and brought that discipline into healthcare supply chains, vendor negotiations, and automated replenishment systems recognized as first-of-kind in Abu Dhabi.

CAP_006

Investment & Planning

Trained in portfolio theory, valuation, and derivatives at Johns Hopkins. I apply that lens to institutional capital planning — helping organizations make decisions that hold up over time, not just on the day they're made.

EXPERIENCE

2023
Present
Kanad Hospital
Chief Finance Officer · Al Ain, UAE

Kanad is one of Abu Dhabi's premier maternity hospitals — and when I arrived, it was in the middle of the kind of transformation that either gets done right or quietly unravels everything else. New ERP from the ground up. Revenue cycle redesign. Six enterprise functions — finance, RCM, supply chain, IT, patient access, and marketing — brought under one financial framework for the first time.

We built the systems, closed the gaps, and delivered a 54% improvement in budget performance in the first fiscal year. The institution is measurably stronger for it — and still building.

2021
2023
Amazon
Operations Manager · Fresno, CA & San Antonio, TX

I helped launch SAT3 — one of the largest robotics fulfillment facilities in North America. $200M in inventory. 125+ associates. Record-peak throughput on day one. We moved the facility from 27th to 5th in national performance rankings within six months.

The continuous improvement model I built during that period was replicated across the Amazon network. What it gave me — a belief in clear systems, accountable teams, and decisions grounded in data — I've carried into every room since.
