Matthew Sweeney, Ph.D., is bringing his decade-plus-long relationship with the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to Abt Global as the company’s CMS Client Account Senior Lead. Sweeney has almost 20 years of experience partnering with private organizations and federal agencies to improve access to care and health outcomes for individuals and communities.
Sweeney has led large research and operational projects focused on various dimensions of alternative payment models, including: implementing and validating quality measures, program support for hospital pay-for-performance programs, and advising clients on the design and refinement of their value-based purchasing arrangements. In his new role, he’ll further expand Abt’s capabilities and innovative solutions, from digital modernization to advanced analytic techniques.
Sweeney came to Abt from Mathematica, where he led growth and strategy efforts across multiple client accounts, including CMS, the U.S Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“As our partnership with CMS continues to flourish, we look forward to Matt bringing his own insights and experience as we grow our collaboration,” said Abt Vice President of Healthcare Services ZeAmma Brathwaite.
Sweeney received his Ph.D. in Policy Analysis and Management from Cornell University and his B.A. in Economics from the College of the Holy Cross.

Public Warning: Recruitment Phishing Scam Impersonating Abt Global
Abt Global has become aware of a phishing scheme targeting individuals with fraudulent interview requests and job offers. Abt’s secure IT systems and private applicant information have not been compromised; scammers are impersonating Abt employees, using the company name and branding to mislead and engage potential job seekers in fake recruitment processes. Scammers might reference real job openings or describe fake opportunities that generally match individuals’ professional backgrounds, with the goal of establishing communication and eventually obtaining private financial information to defraud people. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Trade Commission warn that employment scams such as this are a growing cyber threat. Abt urges anyone who is contacted about employment opportunities to exercise caution and know that: All communication from Abt Global will be from an Abt employee using the @abtglobal.com email domain (e.g., recruiting@abtglobal.com).
