Mat Maddocks

I’m helping build BlackOptima, a cyber insurtech based in London. Queer, neurodivergent, and spending time letting go of stuff — living with less.

Previously worked across insurance and tech. Met some great people. Got fired a couple times.

Dog dad to Benson. Sometimes found in Brighton, definitely not a DJ.
