LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ~ Kevin Matthews, CEO

Effective August 1, 2023, Larry Hartmann, President & Founder of ZRG, LLC named Kevin Matthews, Chief Executive Officer of The Registry. George Matthews, former Chancellor and CEO, and Bryan Carlson, President, have assumed Emeritus status and will continue to support The Registry as Advisors following the acquisition by ZRG, LLC.

No stranger to most of you, Kevin joined The Registry in 2007. As a partner with The Registry overseeing marketing, Kevin has been recognized as a key contributor in building the brand of The Registry, and for providing the vision for key messaging within the higher education industry. As a Chief Executive Officer, Kevin will continue to be directly involved in interim leadership placements, further enhance the creation of consulting practices, and continue to facilitate consulting engagements.

Kevin has also been credited as a key contributor to strategic business development with The Registry and played a major role in transforming The Registry’s legacy client base of mostly small-to-medium independent colleges into a more diverse and broader client base by moving strongly into the public education sector.

Prior to joining The Registry, Kevin was the Director of College Services for Athletic IQ, Inc. (AIQ), which developed the first standardized test for athletic ability (the athletic equivalent to the SAT test). Prior to this position, Kevin served, for over twelve years, at Northeastern University and ultimately as the Director of External Affairs for Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society. He also served as the Director of the Northeast Regional Office of the National Consortium for Academics and Sports, a consortium of 220 colleges and universities dedicated to maintaining a balance between academics and sports.

Kevin is active in his local community and is currently serving his fifth term as a school committee member for the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School District having served as chair and vice chair, and is a former trustee of Massachusetts Bay Community College. He holds a bachelor of science degree from Northeastern University.

Kevin, his wife Prema, and daughter Ranjani reside in the bedroom community of Sudbury, Massachusetts.

We hope you’ll join us in congratulating Kevin on this newest achievement!
