Meet the Founder
I Built This Because I Lived It
Matthew Gomez — Founder and Principal Career Strategist
After retiring as an Army First Sergeant, I discovered that having strong experience was not enough. I also had to learn how to communicate that experience in language civilian employers understood.
I created Built to Lead Career Services to help veterans, first responders, professionals, and emerging leaders close that same gap. This is not a resume mill. Every client receives personalized attention, honest guidance, and career documents created with purpose.
