Matthew’s journey began in insurance—he trained as a Lloyd’s underwriter before moving into recruitment in 1998, where he quickly rose to become a top-performing consultant. In 2002, he founded Eames Consulting, later expanding to launch Eames Partnership and ECMS, each brand reflecting his belief in the power of expertise and specialisation.
Today, Matthew leads Eames Group’s global strategy and growth, with teams in London, New York City, Philadelphia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines. Eames Group has grown to more than 130 people, delivering recruitment, executive search, and advisory-led managed services to businesses of all sizes.
At the heart of Matthew’s leadership is a passion for creating opportunity. For him, being an Opportunity Maker means helping people see not just what is possible now, but what could be possible next. It’s about building connections that change careers, shaping teams that transform businesses, and unlocking potential that might otherwise remain untapped.
Eames Group’s values are the foundation of this philosophy. Matthew believes that personal accountability, ingrained drive, cultural connectivity, professional expertise and adaptability are what enable people—and businesses—to thrive. These values aren’t just words on a page; they underpin everything Eames Group does, from how we work with clients and candidates to how we grow and support our own teams.
For Matthew, success is measured not only by business growth but by the positive impact Eames Group has on people’s careers, ambitions, and futures.
