About Matt Van Itallie
Every CTO needs more peace of mind. That’s why Matt Van Itallie, Co-Founder and CEO at Sema, is leading a team of (super-passionate) cross-disciplinary technologists to build a first-of-its-kind GenAI code management solution. His motivation? It’s helping C-suites get ahead of the rising regulatory and compliance risk while empowering developers to use Gen AI in the SDLC to their fullest. Lawsuits about Gen AI are growing, and the best way for businesses, and engineering organizations especially, to prepare is by developing the strongest possible governance posture and improving foundations to support developers.
Sema’s journey kicked off 8 years ago. Matt had seen too many C-suites struggle to bridge the gap between tech and non-tech. After spending two years researching the problem, Matt decided to build a tech due diligence solution to assess codebase health. Sema has gone on to analyze more than $1T in enterprise value. Along the way, Matt has figured out a system for gardening, prioritizing his passions for cooking and dinner parties, and building KPIs for maximizing time with family. (Bonus: he shares his methods for developing a real company values statement– one that teams actually believe, not just one on paper).
