Bio
Daniel Cooper
I have known Matt for over 20 years and I can confidently say that Matt is one of the best recruiters in his space, he is committed, tenacious, flexible, and focused on finding the right solutions for all parties. His knowledge of his market across Europe is second to none, and he is always thinking about how to foster long term relationships.
Ruben Wilberg
I joined Matt at the beginning of my career in 2011 due to his company's position in the European ERP/CRM/BI market. Matt is one of the leading experts on SAP and Enterprise Technology recruitment. If you've ever seen him in action, you know that his network and networking ability is second to none. Throughout my career I've received training from a variety of sources, and still to this day, no-one has come close to rivalling the SAP and Sales training that I received from Matt during my time working for him – which now forms the basis of the IT and Sales Training that I deliver to the staff in my own company. His energy, management style and attention to detail are just a few of the things that I really admire in Matt, and I’ve tried to replicate these in my own leadership career. The fact I still speak with Matt on a near-monthly basis, some 12 years after we first started working together, hopefully says a lot about my respect for him.
