Matthew Dallisson

Matt Dallisson’s career started in Sales & Marketing with a leading branded food manufacturer. His move to executive search was driven by his interest in how organisations improve performance through Leadership. He has 25 years’ experience advising organisations seeking exceptional leaders to drive transformational change. He joined Signium UK in 2011 where he is Partner. He is Global Co-Head of Signium’s Consumer Practice, a member of Signium’s Industrial, Education, and Technology Practices and a member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants, the global industry body for the executive search and leadership consulting industry.

He has recruited across a variety of regions internationally and across a range of ownership structures including listed, private, and venture/private capital funded organisations. These span multi-national companies to challenger brands, for which he has a particular passion. He also has a particular interest in achieving diversity in leadership, being an early advocate of promoting high quality diverse shortlists. This has also led to him advising organisations on their employer branding and leadership attraction strategies to engage the very best leaders in today’s competitive environment.

A Sociology graduate, Matthew speaks French and Spanish badly but tries his best. The same applies to his cooking in the kitchen, where he enjoys being creative often helped by a glass of red wine.
