Matthew Boyda architects the intelligence frameworks that empower traders to capture alpha in an increasingly complex global energy landscape. As senior vice president of trading solutions at Wood Mackenzie, he translates the data-heavy realities of the energy transition into high-conviction financial outcomes for quantitative analysts and portfolio managers.
Matthew’s technical authority was forged in the trenches of market design. At ERCOT, he served as the lead data architect for the nodal markets initiative, a foundational role that preceded his success as co-founder and CTO of Energytics. Following Energytics' acquisition by Genscape, Matthew pioneered the congestion forecasting tools that redefined how the industry anticipates wholesale power flows and power market price impacts.
Today, Matthew leads the evolution of Wood Mackenzie’s trading solutions, focusing on the intersection of decarbonization and market liquidity. By optimizing how clients navigate extreme price volatility and shifting spark spreads, he provides the transparency required to manage risk across global desks. His leadership ensures that as demand growth and renewables integration reshape the stack, traders possess the tools to identify commodity price arbitrage while safeguarding grid reliability.
