We’re Matt and Sam, the duo behind Training Simplified. With a shared vision for transforming how companies build culture and drive results, we founded Training Simplified to bring our unique expertise to organizations everywhere.

Sam brings nearly 20 years of experience in learning and development, and HR across diverse industries—from banking and telecom to restaurants, marketing, tech, and data science. Having led every HR function in his career, his passion lies in creating cultures where people grow and thrive. Sam’s approach is rooted in practical experience, having seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t in organizations of all shapes and sizes. He founded Training Simplified with Matt to share these insights and help companies build cultures that drive results.

Matt has spent two decades helping brands tell their stories, primarily in the retail sector. From schools to global brands like Chipotle, Forever 21, and Sweetgreen, Matt’s work has focused on using video and media to bring these stories to life. At his core, Matt is a storyteller—one who captures the authentic voices of employees rather than just the top-down corporate narrative. His ability to connect with people at every level of an organization and bring out their genuine stories is what sets his work apart.]

Together, we’ve trained hundreds of thousands of employees across the globe. We’ve not only created training content but have also been the ones accountable for leading and developing these initiatives. As heads of learning, production, recruiting, HR, and performance management, we know what it takes to build programs that not only look good but deliver real results.

What sets us apart? When you partner with us, you’re not just getting another vendor—you’re getting seasoned leaders who have been in your shoes, held accountable for outcomes, and understand the challenges you face. We offer a fresh perspective, a wealth of experience, and a commitment to delivering training that works. With Training Simplified, you’re not just buying a program; you’re gaining a trusted advisor who will help you build something exceptional.
