Lee (James) Gilmore

Global Head of Technology & Architecture

"Matthew was the Global Director of Architecture and Engineering whilst working together at CEF/CES; and it was his inspirational vision, infectious enthusiasm, and insightful technical strategy that encouraged me to join this fantastic company in the first place. 

It's fair to say that in your career you will not work with many leaders like Matthew. He is somebody that has presence and respect in any room; a true people person and servant leader for his organisation, and I have been fortunate enough to have him as my line manager, sponsor and friend. 

An advocate for lean, agile and modern engineering and architectural methodologies and practices; Matthew in my opinion has transformed City globally; growing out the original small teams in both the UK and US, to a tech-aligned global enterprise of expert architects, engineers, and delivery leads.

A true visionary and strategist, and it has been my pleasure to learn, grow and work with him."
