MATTHEW BYRNE
Achievement 1
Title: Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) — First Attempt Pass
Description: Earned CEPA credential from the Exit Planning Institute in July 2026, passing on first attempt.
Achievement 2
Title: 14+ Years Operating Executive — Xperi, Inc. (DTS · TiVo)
Description:
Operating executive at Xperi, the NASDAQ-listed technology and entertainment IP company that owns DTS and TiVo. Progressed from leading a $20-25M mobile and PC business unit (2016-2021) to General Manager of a $100M+ global operating business (2021+) with full P&L, strategy, and operations accountability.
Achievement 3
Title: Qualified Family Office Professional (QFOP) — 90% Score
Description:
Earned QFOP credential from the Family Office Association with a 90% score, focused on multi-generational family enterprise governance, the Hughes family capitals framework, and the integration of business, family, and wealth systems. Complements CEPA credentialing by extending exit planning capability into ongoing family enterprise stewardship.
Achievement 4
Title: Certificate in Treasury Fundamentals — ACT (92% Score)
Description:
Earned Certificate in Treasury Fundamentals from the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) with a 92% score. Corporate treasury, liquidity and risk management, and capital structure discipline — technical financial rigor that complements the strategic exit planning and family governance capabilities.
Achievement 5
Title: Quarterly Board Briefings — DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSI, 2013-2015)
Description:
Delivered quarterly business updates to the DTS Board of Directors from 2013 through 2015, while DTS was an independent NASDAQ-listed audio technology leader (prior to Tessera Technologies' December 2016 acquisition, which formed Xperi). Board-facing operating executive responsible for presenting business unit performance, strategy, and forward outlook.
Achievement 6
Title: Sea Change Partners Executive Development — Benjamin Willis, PhD
Description:
12+ month executive development engagement with Sea Change Partners, led by Benjamin Willis, PhD — former Senior Director of Human Resources at Apple Computer and Stanford PhD in Psychology. The engagement covered Hay Group Organizational Climate 360°, Goleman-Boyatzis Emotional Intelligence framework, and Michael Watkins STaRS transition model.
I founded Byrne Veritas after 14+ years as an operating executive at Xperi, the NASDAQ-listed parent of DTS and TiVo, where I ran a $100M+ global business unit with full P&L accountability. My advisory practice is built for business owners preparing for what comes next — value acceleration, exit planning, and family enterprise governance.
My contribution to a CEPA engagement is operating experience. Board-level exposure at a public company (DTS, prior to Xperi acquisition), treasury and risk-management discipline (ACT-certified), and family enterprise fluency (QFOP), plus formal executive development in emotional intelligence and leadership dynamics (Sea Change Partners) — layered on 10+ years running P&L. When partnering with me on a client engagement, you get a peer whose business operation experience and attention to detail are familiar ground for business owners.
I am not a financial planner, wealth manager, or RIA. I do not manage assets or earn commissions. Engagements are retainer- and project-based, structured around the specific transition each owner is preparing to make.
If you are a fellow CEPA looking for a collaborative operator to strengthen a client engagement, I'd welcome the conversation to determine where I can help.
