MATTHEW A. GORMAN

Matthew A. Gorman is Founder and President of Gorman and Associates, Inc., a strategic consulting firm for corporate and government affairs. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to being the preeminent business development firm for companies seeking to do business with the Fortune 500 as well as the advisory firm of choice in understanding the federal government in Washington, D.C.

Prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Gorman was a Senior Vice President for Capital Markets at Blaylock & Partners, a minority- and women-owned investment banking firm in New York City. In charge of increasing its business with the corporate community, he is proud of having helped the firm's revenues grow by 50% in his eighteen months there. Mr. Gorman is also pleased with his recent success of having helped (now client) Blaylock &Partners become the only minority-owned co-manager of AT&T's historic $8 billion bond deal which was featured in the April 19, 1999 issue of Business Week and the June 14, 1999 issue of Fortune.

Mr. Gorman arrived at Blaylock and Partners from the U.S. Department of Treasury where he was the Director of the Office of Business Liaison for more than four years. Serving in that role, he provided guidance and management strategy to senior Treasury officials in support of the Department's priorities affecting the interests of the business community. He worked closely with Treasury Secretaries Lloyd Bentsen and Robert Rubin by communicating government policy to Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers and other senior executives of corporations, associations, and financial groups. While there, he developed a broad knowledge of U.S. economic and tax policy as well as financial institution regulations and international trade policy.

Before his government service, Mr. Gorman served as the National Finance Director of President Clinton's and Vice President Gore's Transition in 1992/1993. Prior to that, he was the first non-Arkansan on the campaign, arriving in Little Rock in August of 1991 to serve as the Deputy National Finance Director of both the Exploratory and Campaign Committees. In addition, he worked for the former Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Richard Gephardt, and the Democratic Governors' Association. Upon being graduated from college he worked in the commercial real estate sales brokerage industry.

He has an A.B. in English Literature from Georgetown University in Washington, DC and studied abroad at the Center for Cross-Cultural Studies in Seville, Spain. He currently resides in Bethesda, Maryland.
