As a longtime Senior Producer and now Partner at Markham, Matt Giobbi has made a career out of delivering the nearly impossible. He has coordinated coast-to-coast bus tours, managed high-security activations on active military bases, and produced 20+ screenings across six countries. His steady presence, deep experience, and logistical precision have made him a go-to lead for some of our firm’s most complex multi-day tours and government-facing events.

With a background in presidential campaigns, international summits, and civic movements, Q has shaped Markham around one central belief: production is about people. In this spotlight, he shares how strategic thinking, cultural humility, and calm leadership have guided him from policy work to producing events that resonate across the globe.

We’re proud to kick off our Thought Leadership Spotlight Series with Patty’s story — a conversation on cross-cultural producing, leading as a woman in the field, and why soft skills are just as critical as logistics.
