MEET OUR CEO

Louise Knutsson

Hi, I’m Louise, the Founder and CEO of Matches Talent. Built on 20+ years of experience in the executive search industry in both global and boutique firms I launched Matches Talent in 2018 with a mission to disrupt the traditional approach to executive search and headhunting.

I’m driven by commitment to people, connection and culture and through my career spanning Europe, Asia and the United States I've worked with some incredible businesses and people around the world, which mean I know what good looks like, what works and what doesnt..

That is where our bespoke approach that flexes to local and global nuances comes in. By bringing together an elite network of specialists and coaches across the world, we are fast, and agile, working at the forefront of change to support businesses experiencing transformational change.

I’ve lived and worked all over the world, from Sweden, to Japan, France, Italy and the UK and the foundations of exploring, understanding and experiencing different cultures across the globe fuels my mission to connect the right people, in the right place at the right time.

I am here to shape the future of the industry by investing time in developing relationships to understand everyone's needs and deliver for clients and candidates. As an established Global leader, I would love to help you transform the potential of your company by prioritising people, connection and culture. And there has never been a better time to take the first step.
