Matthew Swift

Matthew Ardleigh Swift (born August 28, 1986) is an American entrepreneur and nonprofit executive. He is the co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of the Concordia Summit, a nonprofit nonpartisan organization that promotes public-private partnerships between business, government, and nonprofit organizations to address the world's most pressing problems.

Swift was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he attended St. Anne's-Belfield School. His mother is Teri Ardleigh Swift, the co-founder of Xcovery Vision.

He went to high school at Salisbury School, an all-boys boarding school in Salisbury, Connecticut, through 2006. He attended Georgetown University, graduating in 2010 with a B.A. in Government and National Security Studies.

In 2004, while at Salisbury School, an all-boys boarding school in Connecticut, Swift started an after-school snack business on campus with his best friend Nicholas Logothetis. The undertaking was successful, and they were given the restaurant concession in a new student center, renaming the business Sarum Snacks. The enterprise achieved revenues of $350,000 within two years of launching, and profits were donated to charities.

The two youths' entrepreneurial spirit caught the attention of Rupert Murdoch, and they were accepted for internships at Fox News; while there they created and submitted a course for entrepreneurs at Salisbury School. Later they worked at the New York Post, where they created a weekly insert targeting the 18- to 24-year-old demographic. Swift and Logothetis subsequently worked at British Sky Broadcasting in London, where they helped the media company reach out to Millennials. Swift and Logothetis also worked at News Corporation; while there they created a two-year entrepreneurship education program for inner-city high school students in the South Bronx called Entrepreneur 360 (E360).
