Matthew Gardner
Managing Director - Legal
Roles I Recruit
My core focus is on C-suite and leadership positions in Finance & Accounting and Marketing & BD for Professional Services firms throughout the US and internationally.
My Background
My career in recruitment started in 2009 when I joined Ambition’s London office. In my first couple of years in recruitment, I gained exposure to both temporary and permanent recruitment across a broad base of clients and candidates predominately within the professional services area.
In 2012 I moved to our Singapore office initially as a Senior Consultant, then into a Divisional Manager role for our Sales & Marketing business and our Supply Chain & Procurement business which we launched in 2013.
In 2015 I got the opportunity to return back to our London office as Associate Director for our award-winning BD & Marketing team which specialises in recruiting across BD, Marketing & Communications within the professionals services area.
I was promoted to Managing Director in early 2023 and now focus on Executive Search as well as leading the legal division, covering Finance & Accounting, BD, Marketing & Communications.
