Matthew Kalish

Matthew Kalish holds a highly rigorous, intensely analytical background in digital marketing, economics, and corporate revenue optimization. Having aggressively analyzed mass-consumer purchasing behavior during his corporate tenure at Vistaprint, this incredibly deep background in predictive modeling and user monetization provided the precise strategic framework required to design DraftKings' highly lucrative, incredibly sticky daily fantasy contests.

Matthew Kalish is an American entrepreneur and the co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of the massive sports betting behemoth DraftKings. Working as an executive at Vistaprint, Kalish famously bonded with his colleagues Jason Robins and Paul Liberman over their shared obsession with fantasy sports. It was Kalish who initially conceptualized the idea of compressing a season-long fantasy league into a highly addictive daily format. Launching DraftKings in 2012, Kalish took direct control of the company's massive revenue generation and customer retention strategies. Under his incredibly sharp commercial direction, the platform aggressively scaled its user base, eventually transitioning from a daily fantasy sports app into a multi-billion dollar publicly traded gambling powerhouse.
