Professional Profile
Matthew Brown serves as Strategic Business Development Manager for FlexDecks, specializing in modular access systems for industrial, commercial, and public access applications. With over a decade of experience in fall protection, occupational access design, and ADA and IBC compliance consulting, Matthew brings a combination of physical safety expertise and commercial sales leadership to every client engagement.
Prior to joining FlexDecks, Matthew spent eight years at Simplified Safety, where he led a team of safety consultants helping clients across North America address OSHA compliance, rooftop fall protection, walking surface safety, access to elevated structures, and building egress. His team’s solutions centered on engineered physical barriers including guardrails, walkways, platforms, steps, and ramps, the same kinds of solutions that FlexDecks’ RightWay Pro modular access system is purpose-built to deliver. In the latter half of his tenure, Matthew developed deep expertise in ADA compliance design, including compliant guardrail systems and accessible ramp solutions for commercial and public facilities.
At FlexDecks, Matthew specializes in the specification and application of the RightWay Pro modular access platform and the Kee Safety portfolio of rooftop and elevated access solutions, including Kee Walk, Kee Step, and Kee Platform. His consulting approach draws on hands-on experience with work positioning ergonomics, helping production and manufacturing clients design access solutions that improve both safety and operational efficiency at height. His value extends beyond product sales into channel development and sales consultation, helping dealers, distributors, and facility owners identify access and compliance problems, build the business case for engineered solutions, and navigate procurement in complex commercial environments. A published author on fall protection and ADA compliance topics and a member of the Certified Access Specialist Institute, Matthew maintains active engagement with accessibility standards and their intersection with commercial building access requirements across North America.
