About us

Izzz Group, founded by Matt Beucher, is the result of over 14 years of entrepreneurial and consulting experience. Matt, initially a rookie sales representative, was sent to the UAE in 2007 to develop the MEA market for an IT company with minimal resources. Despite the challenges, Matt successfully established 10 subsidiaries across 46 countries, employing professionals from 36 different nationalities and overseeing 2 successful LBOs and 1 final exit.

Taking a break from the business world, Matt indulged in personal projects and investments. However, his innate passion for business led him to provide pro-bono consulting services to friends and connections interested in entering Middle Eastern, African, and Asian markets. After two years of pro-bono work, Matt decided to start his own consultancy firm in 2016, specializing in Organic and External Growth, and began charging for his services. This marked the official establishment of Izzz Group.
