Matthew Lambert, A39

Biography
Matthew Lambert, A39

Matthew Lambert, A39, was born and raised in Winthrop, Massachusetts, where his father was president of a show manufacturing business. He admits he wasn't entirely keen on spending four years in college. "I'd had a taste of business and I was eager to get out into the big wide world," he recalls. But thanks to the favorable impression of a high school math teacher who was a Tufts graduate, he decided to try academics. Tufts turned out to be a good match: he did well in economics (despite cutting the occasion class to play golf on the Tufts "little six-holer,") and rose to be president of his fraternity.

After Tufts he went on later to earn a master's degree from Boston University. His career in advertising included positions such as advertising director of McDonalds Corp. and vice president of the advertising firm Arnold Co. He and his wife raised six children and have 14 grandchildren. Now living on Cape Cod, Lambert has, at age 84, no intention of retiring and is enjoying the 21st year of running his own sales consulting firm.
