What people say

Matthew reached out to me about an opportunity I wasn’t actively pursuing… What impressed me most was his understanding of both the market and the fit, and his assessment proved to be spot on.
Go-to-market leader for Data & AI from a European consultancy
Matthew placed me as CIO, and off the back of that he’s gone on to build out the capability underneath me too… Everyone he’s placed is still here and doing well, which at the end of the day is what actually matters.
CIO from a European reinsurer
Having worked with him for almost a year, I no longer see our collaboration as a typical recruiter-client relationship… it feels like a trusted and well-established business partnership.
