Wole' Matthews
@wolematthews
Senior transportation and security leader, consulting and driving traffic safety, risk management, and revenue growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a versatile senior leader, consultant, and educator with over three decades spanning transportation engineering, traffic management, logistics, sales leadership, security management, and business development. Since September 2011, I’ve served as a Traffic Management Specialist with the Traffic Management Branch, Ministry of Works & Transport, leading district-wide initiatives and using traffic data to improve road safety and reduce congestion. I’m known for building high-performing, cross-functional teams and delivering measurable outcomes for clients and communities.
I bring Doctorate-qualified credentials, including a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and a Doctor of Science (Dr.Sc.), supported by an MBA and a Master of Applied Science in Transportation Engineering and Management. I combine data-driven analysis with practical execution to turn operational and safety challenges into scalable solutions. As an educator, I also develop training on data collection methods to strengthen team capability and data quality.
My impact includes earning the Road Safety Award for exceptional contribution to traffic safety, directing a 9-month strategic project installing 17 speed humps to exact specifications, and contributing to drafting municipal traffic ordinances. Earlier in my career, I led business development and sales—earning top salesman recognition in part-time sales—and managed security and loss prevention operations by implementing security policies and threat and risk assessments to meet KPIs. I consistently prioritize stakeholder alignment, compliance, and risk-informed decision-making to safeguard organizational assets and people.
