Fewer Brands. Deeper Partnerships.

It all started at Child’s World more than 40 years ago, where Matt sold and repaired bicycles. A born salesman, he later landed a job with Nutcracker Brands in 1985, where he climbed the sales ranks over the next decade. In 1996, Matt was recruited by Superior Nut Company to be Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Over the next 25 years, he helped grow the company by 900%, transforming it from a small regional company into a national player by developing its branded and private-label canned nut line and securing shelf space at national retailers including Walmart, ALDI and Big Lots. Matt has decades of experience representing brands at renowned industry trade shows such as ECRM, NCA and Mid-States, as well as developing planograms for regional and national retailers. He now brings that food-industry experience, knowledge and proven success to RNR Partners as President.

Kyle Reilly brings an entrepreneurial mindset and proven growth leadership to RNR Partners, helping transform the company from a startup operation into a nationally recognized sales agency and emerging leader within the snack and confection industry. As Director of Sales and Finance, Kyle oversees many of the company’s largest retail accounts while leading day-to-day operations, strategic growth initiatives, financial management and client development. Prior to co-founding RNR Partners, Kyle built an extensive background in hospitality, business development and experiential retail. He played a key role in helping City Winery expand into new markets, including successfully lobbying for and opening Boston’s first open-air wine garden on the historic Greenway—a project featured in The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald and ABC’s Chronicle. He later partnered with Flight Club Darts on the launch of its second United States location in Downtown Boston. Combined with more than a decade of experience attending and navigating many of the nation’s largest snack, confection and specialty-food trade shows, Kyle brings a unique blend of strategic vision, relationship-building and operational leadership that continues to drive RNR Partners’ growth and expanding industry presence.
