I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut and later attended Harvard Business School’s Program for Leadership Development. My professional experience includes more than 30 years’ experience in manufacturing processing and contract manufacturing industry with a focus on custom products in a business-to-business environment. 

I began my career at Nypro, a contract manufacturer of precision plastic products for health care and other markets.  I spent my early tenure there in operations and preproduction with a focus on automation, tooling, program management and lean manufacturing. I later moved into business development, becoming Global Business Unit manager for the Consumer/Industrial markets and then VP of Sales for the Americas region.  I also led Nypro’s Consumer/Electronics business in the Americas region and later assumed responsibility for the India operations.  Most recently, I spent the past seven years as VP and General Manager at Phillips-Medisize leading the commercial business unit.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Virginia Tech and was fortunate enough during my college days to spend a summer working for a small start-up company called Specialty Blades. 

After graduation, I was lured by the bright lights of “big company” life and went to work for Westinghouse in Aiken, SC.  However, the desire to work for a small company again never went away and after going back to school and receiving an MBA from the University of South Carolina, I returned back to Staunton, Virginia to work for Specialty Blades, now Cadence, in 1996 as Controller and several years later became the Chief Financial Officer.

Matt Langton is Cadence’s Vice President of Sales, providing executive leadership and strategic direction to a team of sales professionals to drive sales and build customer relationships globally.  He has over 30 years of experience in contract manufacturing, building strategic customer relationships, creating business transformation, and driving organizational success by combining new business opportunities with innovative solutions.

Matt has a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Minnesota and have over 30 years of contract manufacturing experience, ranging between operations leadership and engineering leadership in large multi-national organizations.  The last half of my career has been focused on medical devices, surgical instruments, drug delivery devices, and medical diagnostics.

As Vice President of Pre-Production, I am responsible for the Engineering team driving innovation, quoting, project execution, and launch of new products into manufacturing.  I enjoy collaborating with customers to ensure project deliverables, technical capabilities, and project leadership are aligned with our customers' expectations.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Physics from Michigan Technological University, summa cum laude, and then attended the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, where I earned a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I completed my formal education at Columbia Business School several years later with an executive certification in International Finance and Business.

I started my career with General Motors as an Engineering intern while still in graduate school. I then held positions of increasing responsibility in operations management, quality, engineering, and general management in multiple companies, most notably Ford Motor Company. I studied Six Sigma at Ford and worked as one of Ford’s first Master Black Belts. Most recently, I led the global operations and supply chain for Amcor Healthcare Packaging, which served the world’s largest life science companies with sterile barrier packaging. With over 25 years of experience, I have led supply chains, quality organizations, and operations all over the world, including Malaysia, China, the U.K., Ireland, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the United States.

I joined Cadence in late 2019 and am excited to help the company grow in part through world-class operational excellence and collaborative leadership.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and a Masters of Education in Human Resource Development from James Madison University.  I have over 15 years experience in Human Resources with a focus in manufacturing.

Not long after finishing my undergraduate degree, I started my career at a company in Waynesboro, Virginia and discovered that I had a passion for manufacturing to go along with my passion for people.  I was incredibly thankful to find a home at Cadence in 2011, and I’ve had fun working with the Cadence team to grow and expand the Human Resources function ever since.
