Seasoned technology executive, entrepreneur, and investor brings deep platform, security, and scale expertise to Artifcts’ next phase of growth 

6 February 2026 — Artifcts, the digital legacy platform helping people preserve what matters most, today announced that Matt Ramsey has joined the company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and as a member of the Board of Directors. Ramsey steps into an executive leadership role overseeing the platform’s privacy and security technologies, hosting infrastructure, and product roadmap. 

Ramsey brings more than two decades of experience building, scaling, and securing technology platforms, along with a deeply personal connection to Artifcts’ mission. Prior to formally joining the team, Ramsey was already an active Artifcts user, with more than 350 Artifcts in his personal collection, and is now also an investor in the platform to help accelerate its growth and global impact. 

His commitment to Artifcts is rooted in family and legacy. Prior to the passing of his mother in the fall of 2025, Ramsey and his family had created more than 200 Artifcts together, capturing her life story and world travels—memories that would have otherwise been lost. 

“Artifcts isn’t just a product I believe in—it’s a platform my family relied on during one of the most meaningful and difficult moments of our lives,” said Ramsey. “The opportunity to help scale this technology, while protecting people’s most personal stories with the highest standards of privacy and security, is both professionally exciting and deeply personal.” 

Prior to Artifcts, Ramsey founded and bootstrapped Excivity, a technology company he successfully sold to a private equity firm in 2020. He then joined the executive team of the acquiring platform, BlueHalo, where he played a key leadership role during a period of rapid growth that included 21 acquisitions over five years. BlueHalo ultimately merged into a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: AVAV) in 2025. 

Following the transaction, Ramsey remained on the executive team to complete multiple integration cycles, finalize Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements, and begin the integration of heritage systems to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance. After completing his second exit, Ramsey shifted focus toward passion-driven work, including AgeTech innovation, philanthropy, and creating what he calls lasting “Legacy Effects.” 

Matt holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech and completed an Executive Entrepreneurship program at Babson College. He is an active member of the Post Exit Founders (PEF) community, NextGen Venture Partners, and serves as a mentor to early-stage technology startups. 

With Ramsey as CTO, Artifcts strengthens its leadership team at a pivotal moment as the company continues to scale its platform, enhance enterprise-grade security and privacy, and expand access to digital legacy preservation worldwide.
