Meet the founder
Matthew Eames
Founder & Group CEO
Matthew trained as a Lloyd's underwriter before moving into recruitment in 1998. In 2002 he founded Eames Consulting, later launching Eames Partnership and ECMS — today the Eames Group: more than 130 people across London, New York, Philadelphia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines.
For Matthew, success isn't measured only by business growth, but by the impact the work has on people's careers, ambitions and futures. That's the standard every search here is held to.
